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.

can you explain a little further maybe give multiple choice? ?

new communications technology has affected the way social movements are organized because nowadays, social movements rely on social networks and the media to get different people with a similar way of thinking in contact, and thus, get them to mobilize for a greater cause.

individuals only participate in collective action when they feel identified with it. is in this aspect that social media becomes relevant, because it guarantees communication among all individuals and organizes the social actions that are going to be carried out, i.e., the social movements.

in addition, being covered by the media is important to validate the message and make it relevant in the social agenda, as well as to reach more people who can share interests, appealing to public sympathy for their cause.

in conclusion, it is by social networks and social media that social movement is given birth; by connecting different individuals with similar ideas and organizing them to mobilize for a greater cause.
