Answer:

The correct answer is option D, that is, the elephant will not react.

Explanation:

A kind of behavior that comprises a stimulus-response, which is distinct from the natural one is termed as conditioning. It is a kind of learned behavior. It is a kind of learning where the efficacy of stimulus enhances while provoking a response. When the presentation of two stimuli is done at a suitable time and with appropriate intensity, then one of them will be able to provoke a response that resembles the other one.  

In the given case, the mouse and the trombone are termed as unconditioned and conditioned stimuli. When a conditioned stimulus is demonstrated in a context of classical conditioning, it will result in the non-predication of the coming unconditioned stimulus. The conditioned response will get to cease slowly and will eliminate the conditioned fear. Thus, in the given case, the elephant will fail to react towards the trombone subsequently.

<h2>Cannon -Bard theory</h2>

Explanation:

  • Alone in the woods, Pedro hears a noise. He thinks he sees a bear coming toward him. His heart starts pounding and then, a moment later, he realizes how frightened he is. This sequence of events is BEST explained by the <u>Cannon-Bard t</u>heory of emotion.

According to Cannon-Bard theory, all the emotional expressions occur due to the stimulation of hypothalamic structures present in brain. This theory also states that feeling and physiological effects of an emotional stimuli occurs simultaneously.

Here, James thinks that a bear is coming, this is a stimulus. His heart starts pounding that is the physiological effect of the stimulus and the next moment he feels frightened which is a feeling.

So we conclude that in this case, the physiological effect and feeling of emotion occurred simultaneously. So these sequence of events is best explained  by Cannon-Bard's theory.

Codominance.

Codominance occurs when, for example, a Dominant Blue color gene for a leaf crosses with a Dominant White color gene for a leaf. The genotype would be BW. This would result in, for example, a blue and white spotted leaf color. INCOMPLETE dominance occurs when both dominant alleles blend together, resulting in, eg, a pale blue color resulting from the blue and white colors mixing.
