The magnitude at which the unconditioned response reaches its asymptote is determined by:
A) The number of pairings between the non-functional stimulus and the unconditioned stimulus
B) How closely in time the non-functional stimulus and unconditioned stimulus are presented
C) The number of times the non-functional stimulus is presented in the absence of the unconditioned stimulus
D) The strength of the unconditioned stimulus

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The magnitude of the unconditioned response reaching its asymptote is primarily determined by the strength of the unconditioned stimulus. Stronger unconditioned stimuli tend to produce stronger and more readily reached asymptotes in the response.
