Answer:

D. the self-serving bias.

Explanation:

When Ainslie did poorly on the physics midterm exam, she blamed her low score on the unfair exam and the lousy professor. But when the final grades in the course were curved and she received an A-, she concluded that she had a real talent and mental capacity for logical scientific thinking. This example illustrates <u>self-serving bias</u>

Self-serving bias is the tendency of individuals to attribute positive result to their own character or effort but attribute negative outcomes to external factors or other people. Ainslie blamed the poor mid-term performance to external factors such as the professor and praised herself for the overall good performance.

Answer:.D) the self-serving bias.

Explanation:

The self-serving bias occurs when we attribute positive event to our own abilities and character and attribute negative events to external factors in order to maintain our high self esteem. If we succeed we believe it because of our own hard work and smartness but when we fail it because someone else didn't do something right.

Ainslie did poorly and blamed the professor and unfairness of the exam however when he did well he attributed his high grade to his own talent and mental capability.

conditioned stimulus

In classical conditioning<span>, a conditioned stimulus is one which is previously a neutral stimulus, which, upon becoming associated with an unconditioned stimulus, eventually triggers a conditioned response. 
</span>
An unconditioned stimulus is one which <span>unconditionally, naturally, and automatically elicits or triggers a(n) (unconditioned) response. For example, the smell of food usually triggers hunger.

In contrast, a conditioned stimulus is one which initially does not trigger the same response as the unconditioned stimulus, but because of association, eventually triggers the same response as well. The response to a conditioned stimulus is a conditioned response.

For example, in the famous experiment by Ivan Pavlov, the sound of a bell was paired with the serving of food to dogs. Dogs naturally salivate upon smelling/seeing the food. However, later on, even without the food, when the dogs heard the sound of the bell, they began salivating. The sound of the  bell is the conditioned stimulus, while the salivation of the dog in response to the conditioned stimulus, the bell, is called a conditioned response. </span>
