While playing at a local playground with her mom, Allison was frightened by a dog that ran up and jumped on top of her, so she started to cry. A few weeks later, while at a new park, Allison saw another dog and immediately began to cry. The dog that she saw at the new park would be considered the:___________ a) unconditioned stimulus. b) conditioned stimulus. c) unconditioned response. d) conditioned response.

Respuesta :

The fact that Allison was startled by a dog in a park caused her to develop a conditioned response to having the same reaction to seeing another dog in a new park.

What is a conditioned response?

It is considered as a learned psychological response to a stimulus that was previously neutral, which was associated with an unconditioned stimulus to generate conditioning.

Therefore, the fact that Allison first had an unconditioned stimulus, when she was frightened by a dog, caused her to develop a conditioned response when facing the same situation on other occasions.

The correct answer is:

D. Conditioned response
