Jessica loves to go to the park. however, after three separate incidences of violence over the course of two years in a park, she begins to fear going to parks. in this scenario, in the context of classical conditioning, jessica’s fear of parks is a(n) conditioned response. conditioned stimulus. unconditioned stimulus. unconditioned response.

The correct answer is A. Conditioned response

Explanation:

A conditioned response is a non-natural behavior or reaction that occurs as a response to some stimulus, for example, a situation, image, sound, etc. This means a conditioned response was learned over time through the conditioning process that involves associating a stimulus with a specific response that is naturally related to a different stimulus.

This occurs in the case of Jessica because due to the incidents in the park, now every time she goes to the park or thinks about going she experiences fear or anxiety that was the response she had during the incidents of violence. This means she now has a conditioned response because over time her reaction or behavior to the park became negative; however,  this is not natural but related to the association she made with the three incidents.

was the answer correct?
