Every week, Jade spends her allowance on ½ pound of sour lemon gummy candies even though they always make her mouth water
One day, as she is walking down the street, Jade sees a girl carrying a little white bag that looks like a candy shop bag! Jade notices that her mouth is puckering and overflowing with saliva. In this example, the unconditioned stimulus is the:
A) little white bag
B) allowance money
C) puckering and saliva
D) sour lemon gummy candy

Rationale: An unconditioned stimulus (US) is a stimulus that elicits a reflexive response without learning. In this example, the stimulus that automatically causes Jade's mouth to water before "conditioning" is the sour candy.
