please check my answer thanks for your help :)
Which of the following is an example of an unconditioned response?
A. begging behavior at meal time
B barking to get attention
C Salivatig when food is taken ito the dog 's mouth
D salavating when the dog hears the owner preparing food
I picked D
C rather than D. Unconditioned is the same as unlearned, occurring without any previous experience, wired in. The dog has to learn the connection with the sound of the food preparation and the food itself (association), therefore D is a conditioned/learned response.
I hope this helps. Thanks for asking.
To check your answer, let's break down the options and identify which one represents an unconditioned response:
A. Begging behavior at mealtime: This is a learned behavior and not an automatic response, so it's not an unconditioned response.
B. Barking to get attention: Similar to the previous option, this is a learned behavior and not an automatic response.
C. Salivating when food is taken into the dog's mouth: This option represents an unconditioned response. Salivating is a natural and involuntary reaction to the presence of food in the dog's mouth. It doesn't require any conditioning or learning.
D. Salivating when the dog hears the owner preparing food: This option is not an unconditioned response because it involves a conditioned stimulus, which is the sound of the owner preparing food. The dog has associated this sound with food, and therefore, the salivation is a learned response, not automatic.
Given the breakdown above, your answer of D is incorrect. The correct answer is C, salivating when food is taken into the dog's mouth.
