Researchers have found that animals show evidence of classical conditioning if they are injected with a drug that chemically causes immunosuppression, while they are simultaneously drinking an unusual-tasting liquid. In these studies, the conditioned response would be

A) the immunosuppression.
B) the taste of the liquid that is used.
C) the injection of the drug.
D) fear of the injection process.

Immunosuppression

The reduction of the efficacy of the immune system's response, naturally or through medical intervention.

Conditioned Response

A conditioned reaction to a once neutral stimulus that has been paired with an unconditioned stimulus.

  • Recognize the different categories of stimuli (conditioned, unconditioned) and outcomes (conditioned, unconditioned) demonstrated in classical conditioning scenarios.
  • Understand the principles underlying the conditioning of physiological responses and the immune system.

Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
The conditioned response in classical conditioning is the learned response to the previously neutral stimulus, which, in this case, is the immunosuppression that occurs in response to the unusual-tasting liquid after conditioning.
