Question 3 • CUSD Psychology (5.0)

Read the scenario below and answer the question that follows. Edward spends a lot of time studying for his exams. He usually takes practice exams when he studies. During his study time, he drinks a lot of soda and coffee. When he takes his actual exams in class, he is frequently bothered by a strong urge to have soda or coffee. What is the conditioned response (CR) in this scenario?

Answer
A
spending time studying
B
taking practice exams
C
craving soda and coffee
D
drinking soda and coffee

Explanation

While studying, Edward repeatedly drinks soda and coffee, so the study and exam setting becomes associated with them. The actual exam setting can then trigger a craving even when he is not drinking anything. That craving is the conditioned response (CR), so the best answer is “craving soda and coffee.”
