Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The child's learned response of crying when a nurse enters the room is the conditioned response. It is not specifically related to getting a shot, but rather to the presence of the nurse. Therefore, option B is the correct choice. Option A is related to the unconditioned response of crying due to pain from the injection. Option C is the stimulus that triggers the conditioned response but is not the response itself. Option D is related to the unconditioned stimulus of the injection causing pain.
