Which of the following is one of the ways in which conditioned taste aversions are NOT like other forms of classical conditioning?
A) Conditioned taste aversions do not require a CS.
B) Conditioned taste aversions only last 1 or 2 days.
C) The CS and US can be separated by several hours.
D) The subject does not have to respond to develop a taste aversion.
Answer: C
Rationale: The interval between ingesting the food (CS) and experiencing the illness (US) may be a matter of hours in conditioned taste aversions, whereas most conditioning happens only if the CS and the US occur very closely to each other in time.
