Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Bobby's faster breathing rate when he smells Chanel #5 is the conditioned response (CR) because it is a learned response to the conditioned stimulus (CS) of the scent of Chanel #5. The unconditioned stimulus (UCS) would be something that naturally and automatically elicits a response, such as the smell of food causing salivation, and the unconditioned response (UCR) would be the natural and automatic response to the UCS, such as salivation in response to the smell of food.
