Ralph Marsh · Answer 1

d) conditioned stimulus

Explanation:

Conditioned stimulus: The term has been first used in the classical conditioning experiment and can be widely applied in the day to day life.

Therefore, the conditioned stimulus in classical conditioning is a stimulus that was neutral earlier and after being associated with an unconditioned stimulus then it gives rise to a conditioned response.

In the question above, for the dogs, the sight of this person was a conditioned stimulus.
