QID 100056 (Type "100056" in App Search)
Every time your neighbor in the adjacent apartment flushes the toilet, the water in your shower becomes very hot, causing you to jump out of the way of the water stream. After this has occurred for several months, you note that you reflexively jump back from the water directly after the sound of the flushing toilet but before the water temperature changes. Which of the following situations is the most similar to the conditioning process detailed above?

The vignette detailed in the question stem and "white coat syndrome" are both examples of classical conditioning.

In classical conditioning, a reflexive response that is normally elicited by an unconditioned stimulus becomes evocable by a conditioned stimulus that was formerly neutral. Pavlov's dogs represent a commonly cited example of classical conditioning. In this experiment, ringing a bell (conditioned stimulus) while presenting food (unconditioned stimulus) eventually produced salivation (natural response) in the dogs to the sound of the bell alone without the presence of food.

Incorrect answers:
Answer 1: This is an example of positive reinforcement, a form of operant conditioning.

Answer 2: This is an example of punishment, a form of operant conditioning.

Answer 3: This is an example of negative reinforcement, a form of operant conditioning.

Answer 4: This is an example of habituation, a form of simple learning.
