A. Unconditioned Stimulus
B. Unconditioned Response
C. Conditioned Response
D. Conditioned Stimulus



Answer :

Final answer:

The pot pie is a Conditioned Stimulus in classical conditioning after causing fear in Maggie post-choking.


Explanation:

In this scenario, the sight of a pot pie that causes fear in Maggie after choking is a Conditioned Stimulus according to classical conditioning. This means that the pot pie, which initially was neutral, became associated with fear through conditioning.

Classical conditioning involves pairing an Unconditioned Stimulus (such as the choking incident) with a neutral stimulus (the pot pie) until that neutral stimulus becomes a Conditioned Stimulus eliciting a Conditioned Response (fear).
