2 You are taking a class on the Psychology of Learning. During this week’s lab, your lab partner will be classically conditioning you to blink when you hear the sound of a tone. Your partner will by sounding a tone for exactly 2 seconds. Then, after the tone stops, they will wait exactly 2 seconds before introducing a gentle puff of air to your eye (causing you to blink). After experiencing this pairing several times, you will blink when you hear the tone by itself. In this scenario, how would we describe the unconditioned response?
-blinking when you hear the tone
-blinking when the air hits your eye
-the sound of the tone
-the puff of air hitting your eye
