Question

After sabrina heard about jenny's experiment, she wanted to try something with her own cat. sabrina's cat, jasmine, tends to follow her around the house (unless she's sleeping). when sabrina feeds her, she puts her food dish on the floor. one day a few weeks ago, sabrina tried a new procedure. after she put the food dish on the floor, she would snap her fingers, which was paired with her eating the food and licking her chops (yum!). one night about a week ago, a half hour or so before sabrina normally feeds her, they were sitting on the couch. sabrina decided to try snapping her fingers to see if there was any classical conditioning — jasmine looked at sabrina and licked her chops!

Answer 1

· Conditioned response is the licking of her chops

· Unconditioned response is licking her chops

· Unconditioned stimulus is eating the food
