In this situation, the conditioned response (CR) is feeling nauseated in the cafeteria. This is because Carlos has developed a learned response (feeling nauseated) to the conditioned stimulus (the cafeteria) after his experiences of vomiting due to the stomach virus while there.
On two separate occasions, eight-year-old Carlos unknowingly had a stomach virus when eating in the school cafeteria. Both times he vomited shortly after eating. Now he associates the cafeteria with vomiting, and merely entering the room makes him feel nauseated. What is the conditioned response (CR) in this situation?
Having a stomach virus
Vomiting
Going into the cafeteria
Feeling nauseated in the cafeteria
