Omar Daugherty · Answer 1

Jonathan buckling the seat belt

Explanation:

The conditioned stimulus in the present situation is Jonathan buckling the seat belt

A conditioned stimulus is generally considered as a neutral stimulus. It invokes to the mind automatically as a result of practice and training.

Here Jonathan always buckles the seat belt as soon as he sits in the car before starting the car. This habit is a result of a previous stimulus that the car buzzer goes off every time he starts the car before buckling the seat belt.

Thus the answer is

Jonathan buckling the seat belt

Acevedo · Answer 2

The buzzer

Explanation:

Hello! Unconditioned stimuli are stimuli that generate an immediate response on their own, without the need for prior conditioning. The buzzer generates an intense and sudden noise that causes Jonathan to startle. The activation of the body system or the reflex movement is also called unconditioned.
