It is false that C. In Pavlov’s paradigm where a sound becomes able to elicit salivation, the sound is unconditioned stimulus.

Classical conditioning refers to a learning type where an animal or human reacts to a stimulus without thinking because they have been trained/ conditioned to do so.

There are two types of stimuli:

  • Conditioned stimulus
  • Unconditioned stimulus

An unconditioned stimulus refers to a type of stimulus that a person would normally react to in a certain way for instance:

  • Smell of food making you hungry
  • Seeing a snake making you scared

A Conditioned stimulus is not natural but rather results from you having associated a stimulus with an event so many times that you react to that stimulus in a certain way:

  • Sound making a dog hungry so much so that it salivates
  • You becoming happy when you see your mother come home from work because she usually brings treats.

In conclusion, we can say that a sound causing an animal to salivate is not unconditioned but rather conditioned because it is not natural to react to sound in that way.
