Answer:

The best answer to the question: Jose´s ability to detect even the slightest presence of almond is:___, would be, C: A classically conditioned response.

Explanation:

Classical conditioning, also known as Pavlovian conditioning, is a learning process which was first adopted by Ivan Pavlov. In the case of José, he had previously had a situation in which, when he ate anything that contained almonds in them, he became sick. This experience, of being exposed to a stimulus that caused him difficulties, produced in him a conditioned response, which was, his body rejecting anything that has to do with almonds, including the smell of them. So now, after having been exposed to both the stimulus and its consequence, Jose does not need to see the almonds themselves to react to them. All he needs is something as simple as his sense of smell, and his reaction to it will be to reject the food. This is an example of classical conditioned response. His response to the smell of almond extract comes from his having first been exposed to the effects of actually eating almonds.

Answer:

The answer is: c. a classically conditioned response.

Explanation:

Classical conditioning, also called Pavlovian conditioning, responsive conditioning, stimulus-response model, or association learning (E-E), is a type of associative learning.

In more recent times, classical conditioning processes have been identified in humans as:

Flavor aversive conditioning.  

Conditional nausea, in chemotherapy, for example.

Eyelid or blink conditioning.

Patellar reflex conditioning.

Phobias.

The answer is: c. a classically conditioned response.
