Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Classical conditioning involves pairing a neutral stimulus with a stimulus that naturally elicits a response, resulting in the neutral stimulus also eliciting that response. In the case of disgust reactions, a neutral stimulus (such as a certain food or smell) may become associated with a negative or aversive stimulus (such as illness or contamination), leading to the previously neutral stimulus also eliciting disgust. Therefore, disgust reactions are likely a product of classical conditioning.
