Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The shirt worn by Toby acted as a conditioned stimulus (CS) for Pat, as it had become associated with negative feelings related to Pat's ex-partner. This association led to a conditioned response (CR) in Pat, which was feeling less attracted to Toby. Therefore, option B is the correct choice. Option A (unconditioned stimulus) and C (unconditioned response) are not applicable as there is no natural or automatic response related to Toby's shirt, but it is a learned association.
