Before she got her driver's license, seeing police cars and their flashing red lights did not bother Olive. But then she started driving and has been pulled over several times for speeding. Each time she was pulled over, first she saw the flashing red lights of the police car. Then she would be questioned by the police and given a ticket, which made her feel very tense and upset. Now whenever she sees a police car with its flashing lights on, she feels a little bit nervous, even if it is pulling over someone else. In this example, what is the CONDITIONED STIMULUS

Respuesta :

Answer:

Tense and upset at flashing red lights

Explanation:

Conditioned stimulus: In psychology, the term "conditioned stimulus" is one of the different elements in the theory of "classical conditioning" which was proposed by Ivan Pavlov while experimenting with dogs.

The "conditioned stimulus" is described as a formerly neutral stimulus that tends to trigger or give rise to a "conditioned response" after becoming connected with the "unconditioned stimulus".

In the question above, the conditioned stimulus is "tense & upset at flashing of red lights".
