Sarah has learned to ignore her parents the first few times they tell her that it's bedtime. James has learned to respond to his parents the first time they mention bedtime. Both sets of parents punish their children for disobedience, but James parents tend to punish much more quickly than do Sarah's parents. The difference between Sarah's and James' responses to their parents is probably due to __________
A) the temporal relationship between the conditioned stimulus and the unconditioned stimulus.
B) the intensity of the unconditioned stimulus.
C) the number of pairings of the conditioned stimulus and the unconditioned stimulus.
D) the intensity of the conditioned stimulus.
Temporal Relationship
The relational concept that denotes the timing and sequence of events or variables as they occur over time.
Conditioned Stimulus
A previously neutral stimulus that, after becoming associated with the unconditioned stimulus, eventually comes to trigger a conditioned response.
Unconditioned Stimulus
In classical conditioning, a stimulus that naturally and automatically triggers a response without any conditioning.

Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
The difference in responses is likely due to the temporal relationship between the conditioned stimulus (mention of bedtime) and the unconditioned stimulus (punishment), with James learning to respond quicker due to his parents' quicker punishment.
