Question

Ever since she foolishly drank too much tequila at a rock concert and vomited all over her best friend, erin becomes nauseous at the smell or taste of tequila. in this example, the conditioned stimulus is _____ and the conditioned response is _____.

Answer 1

The conditioned stimulus would be the scent of the vodka, and the response would be for Erin to vomit whenever it is present. This is because she now links the two situations as being causal, even though it was likely only a one-time occurrence that took place because she imbibed too heartily.
