(Refer tо the scenаriо оutlined аbove: A new drug of аbuse called Yilomin decreases heart rate, in addition to inducing a ‘high’. Because of the body’s drive to maintain homeostasis, taking the drug leads to the reflexive, compensatory mechanisms that increase heart rate. A user takes the drug in the same room with pink shag carpet each and every time for a period of months. For the following T/F questions, assume that in this scenario, a conditioned tolerance develops for Yilomin.)In this scenario, the pink carpet room alone (i.e. even before taking the drug) will elicit a lowering of heart rate. Thus the room has become the conditioned stimulus.
