a) Unpleasant loud noise
b) Cringing
c) Picture of the landscape
d) Conditioning

Answer 1

The conditioned response is associated with the conditioned stimulus.

Step-by-step explanation:

In classical conditioning, a response called the conditioned response is associated with a stimulus that it had previously not been associated with, the conditioned stimulus. The response to the original, unconditioned stimulus is called the unconditioned response. The most cited example of classical conditioning is Ivan Pavlov's experiments with dogs. In Pavlov's experiments, the unconditioned response was the salivation of dogs in response to the unconditioned stimulus of seeing or smelling their food. The conditioning stimulus that researchers associated with the unconditioned response was the ringing of a bell.
