Grace whistles while tickling Khaleel with a feather. Eventually, Khaleel starts to squirm and giggle every time Grace whistles, even when he is not being tickled. In this example, squirming and giggling is a(n) .A. conditioned responseB. conditioned stimulusC. unconditioned responseD. unconditioned stimulus

C. conditioned response

Explanation:

A conditioned response is a learned response to a stimulus that was previously neutral. Conditioned responses are an important part of classical conditioning, a learning theory discovered by Ivan Pavlov.

For example, the smell of food is an unconditioned stimulus, a feeling of hunger in response to the smell is an unconditioned response, and the sound of a whistle when you smell the food is the conditioned stimulus.

In this case, the sound of whistle is the condition whistling while the giggling and laughing is the conditioned response

The correct answer is: A) conditioned response.

Explanation:

These options all refer to different elements of Classical Conditioning - a type of learning in which a biologically potent stimulus is paired with a formerly neutral stimulus.

The conditioned response refers to the learned response to the formerly neutral stimulus. In this example, Grace's whistles are the conditioned stimulus, and Khaleel's sudden squirming and giggling is the conditioned response.

An unconditioned response to an unconditioned stimulus refers to the natural response towards a stimulus.
