Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The positive feelings toward Tia that result from the patriotic music and American flag in her ads represent a conditioned response, as they are a learned reaction to the stimuli presented in her ads.

Positive reinforcement and negative reinforcement involve the strengthening of behaviors through rewards or the removal of negative stimuli, respectively, and are not relevant to this question.
