Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Evaluative conditioning is a type of classical conditioning that involves pairing a neutral stimulus with a positive or negative stimulus to change the individual's perception of the neutral stimulus. It does not involve manipulating reflex-evoking USs, so it is ethical to use. Eyeblink conditioning and SCR measurement both involve measuring physiological responses to USs, which would conflict with Dr. Williams's ethical standards.
