Brian ate a tuna salad sandwich that had become tainted from being in the sun too long. Not long after eating, Brian became extremely nauseated and felt awful. After that, even the sight of a tuna sandwich caused Brian to feel nauseated. What are the NS, US, UR, CS, and CR in this example?
A Conditioned Stimulus is a stimulus that elicits a natural response. Here, spoilt food is an unconditioned stimulus. An unconditioned response is the natural response elicited by an unconditioned stimulus. Here, feeling nauseated is an unconditioned stimulus. Intially, a tuna sandwich was a neutral stimulus. However, after it got associated with the spolit food (by becoming tainted), it became a Conditioned Stimulus which came to elicit a conditioned response of nausea.
