B. How might you be able to extinguish this Classical Condition response?

Answer 1

A. The unconditioned stimulus is Stressful job person is doing . This results in a nausea , stress and sickness. This is the unconditioned response .

With repeated pairings of getting ready for work and going to work , dressing for work becomes the conditioned stimuls to which the response is nauseated feeling that is the conditioned response.
