Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Conditioned aversion refers to a learned dislike or negative emotional response to a stimulus that was previously neutral or even positive. This is typically the result of classical conditioning, in which an originally neutral stimulus (such as a particular food) becomes associated with an aversive or unpleasant outcome (such as nausea). As a result of the conditioning, the previously neutral stimulus can now trigger negative emotions or avoidance behaviors. Desensitization, spontaneous recovery, and extinction are other types of learning processes that are unrelated to conditioned aversion.
