Molly and mark are new parents. their daughter alvina often cries when she is uncomfortable. each time alvina cries, her parents give her a stuffed rabbit. eventually, alvina looks at the rabbit and cries because she associates the rabbit with being uncomfortable. what is the conditioned stimulus (cs) in this scenario?

The rabbit.
The rabbit acts as an alternate stimulus and triggers a response in the baby as a conditioned stimulus. Simply put, the rabbit makes the baby react by crying because she associates the rabbit with something like discomfort and fear and cries out.
