Samantha's cat salivates in response to the taste of food in its mouth. Each morning, Samantha places the food on the back porch. When the door to the porch opens, a bell rings. So, each time she opens the door the bell rings. Now, Samantha's cat salivates when the bell rings. Which of the following is the unconditioned response in this example?

A) food
B) salivation
C) the door
D) the bell on the door Lhe bell on the door

The answer is food (Option A)

Explanation:

To begin with, an unconditioned response is a type of response that is not learned. This kind of response occurs as a natural reaction to the unconditioned stimulus (a stimulus that automatically and naturally triggers or causes response).

For example, if the aroma emanating from good food is the unconditioned stimulus, then salivation and the sudden feeling of hunger is a natural way to respond to such stimulus.
