Because of classical conditioning, medical treatment can create unexpected misery or relief from symptoms, for reasons that are entirely unrelated to the treatment itself. Give an example that illustrates this statement

What will be an ideal response?

Answer: A good answer will include the following key points.
• Unpleasant reactions to a treatment can become associated to a wide range of other stimuli.
• For example, chemotherapy, and the nausea it produces, may become associated with the place where the therapy takes place, the waiting room, the nurse's uniform, etc., such that these stimuli may produce nausea by themselves.
• Positive reactions may also be conditioned.
• For example, placebos can produce improved symptoms because pills are generally associated with improved symptoms.
