Question

If the sound of an electric can opener causes a child to salivate because it has previously been associated with the presentation of food, the child's salivation to the sound of the can opener is a(n)________.

Answer 1

conditioned response.

Step-by-step explanation:

Conditioned response: In psychology, the term conditioned response is a very important part of the classical conditioning theory or experiment. The theory was introduced by the psychologist Ivan Pavlov.

In classical conditioning, the term conditioned response is defined as a behavior that doesn't occur naturally and is being learned by organisms (animal or human beings) by associating a neutral stimulus with an unconditioned stimulus.

In the question above, the child's salivation to the sound of the can opener is a conditioned response.
