Read through the Classical Conditioning examples below and then identify the US, CS, UR, and CR in each. 1. Pamela went shopping with her baby in a mall when she bumped into her friend Carol. Carol was wearing a shiny, jingling bracelet, much like the one Pamela wore. When Carol reached down to kiss Pamela’s baby on the forehead, her bracelet jingled, and the baby started making suckling noises. 2. Scott’s dog, Tony, waits every afternoon in the front room for Scott to come home. Tony knows that when he hears the sound of the garage door opening, Scott will come in and take Tony out for a walk. One evening, on his way out to the store, Scott hits the garage door opener, and the dog starts running around excitedly. 3. Elmer really likes to cook with onions and he puts onions into almost everything he makes. He usually starts dinner every day around 5:00 p.m. As he is cutting the onions, the grandfather clock chimes five times because it is 5:00 p.m. Elmer is crying because cutting the onions makes his eyes water. One evening he is at a friend’s house because they are going out to dinner later. He and his friend are watching TV and the clock chimes five times when it is 5:00 p.m. Elmer’s eyes start to water.
