You go out for dinner at your favourite restaurant and, much to your dismay, am sick in the night. You find out the next day that none of your friends (who shared your food) got sick. That makes you think it is very unlikely what you experienced was food poisoning. Furthermore, your roommate has the flu, which would be a plausible source of your illness. Unfortunately, the next time you go for dinner at that same restaurant you start feeling sick shortly after stepping through the door (and before actually eating anything!). What is the most likely explanation?
A)a repressed memory is resurfacing
B)conditioned taste aversion
C)stimulus discrimination
D)spontaneous recovery
E)operant discrimination

The most likely explanation is conditioned taste aversion, where your body associates the sickness you felt previously with the restaurant, causing you to feel sick upon returning, even before eating anything.
