Answer 1

Answer: Unconditioned Stimulus: sitting in front of the television, exhausted

Unconditioned Response: falling asleep

Conditioned Stimulus: watching a movie

Conditioned Response: sleeping

Explanation:

In classical conditioning, a conditioned response is the reaction to an unrelated event in the environment (unconditioned stimulus).

Unconditioned Stimulus: Here, this is sitting in front of the television, exhausted every night and the Unconditioned Response is falling asleep after doing so.

With time, Jasmine has become conditioned to fall asleep when she sits down in front of the television that a few minutes into a movie, she falls asleep, which is now a Conditioned Response to watching the television.
