Jessica loves to go to the park. However, after three separate incidences of violence over the course of two years in a park, she begins to fear going to parks. In this scenario, in the context of classical conditioning, Jessica’s fear of parks is a(n)
a. conditioned response.
b. conditioned stimulus.
c. unconditioned stimulus.
d. unconditioned response.

The answer is a. conditioned response.

Explanation:

In classical conditioning, a conditioned stimulus (the parks) is associated with an unrelated consequence, called unconditioned stimulus (the incidences of violence). This produces a reaction known as conditioned response (the fear of parks).

It's important to recognise that any neutral stimulus can become conditioned. In this example, Jessica would probably be afraid of banks if she had heard about violent events in there.
