Question

I have a cat named Lenny Kravitz (IG @funnylittlelenny). I go out of town several times a year, and Lenny does not come with me (not to worry, he is well cared-for while I'm gone). When I pack my clothes in my suitcase for a trip, Lenny gets agitated because he does not like having his routine disrupted, and my being out of town is very annoying to him. Last week, when I was reorganizing my closet and dresser for spring, Ihad a lot of clothes on the bed, in much the same way as I do when I pack for a trip. I soon noticed that Lenny became agitated and cried until all of the clothes were put away. Select the component of classical conditioning that goes with each aspect of this example (note: each component will only be used once) 2pts per item My clothes/suitcase I go out of town Lenny becomes anxious when he sees the clothes on the bed Laying my clothes on the bed when packing my suitcase Lenny is agitated and anxious because I am gone Conditioned stimulus Unconditioned response Neutral stimulus Choose...

Lenny becomes agitated when he sees the clothes on the bed- Conditoned response

Laying my clothes on the bed when packing my suitcase- the new unconditioned stimulus

Lenny is agitated and anxious because I am gone- unconditioned response
