Question

Johnny hated going to the doctor because he always received vaccinations. when he entered the doctor's office, he would become anxious and his stomach would hurt. when johnny reached the age of 8, he was finished with his immunizations. after many trips to the doctor's office with no injections, what should happen with johnny's anxiety and stomachache?

Answer 1

Based on this situation, what would likely happen are the following;

Conditioned stimulus – doctor’s office in which the thought of going to the doctor will be a conditioned stimulus

Conditioned response – the conditioned response is where the person’s anxiety and stomach will hurt after being associated with the stimulus

Unconditioned Stimulus – the actual injection in which the individual feels pain

Unconditioned response – it is the anxiety that the individual feels and the pain that he feels from the stomach
