john watson and rosalie rayner created a/an ______ in an infant by pairing a loud noise with a rat.

o negative punishment reaction
o classically conditioned emotional response
o operantly conditioned rat aversion
o reinforcement feedback loop

Explanation:

In classical conditioning, when a neutral stimulus (NS) is repeatedly paired with an unconditioned stimulus (US), the NS becomes a conditioned stimulus (CS). For the second question, John Watson and Rosalie Rayner's experiment with pairing a loud noise (US) with a rat (NS) led to the creation of a classically - conditioned emotional response in the infant. A negative punishment reaction involves removing a stimulus to decrease a behavior. Operant conditioning is different from classical conditioning (operant is about behavior - consequence relationships, while classical is about stimulus - stimulus associations). A reinforcement feedback loop is more related to operant conditioning's reinforcement concepts.

Answer:

First question: conditioned stimulus (CS)
Second question: classically conditioned emotional response
