The answer is the first one (or A): UCS (Unconditioned Stimulus).

Explanation for each option:

  • UCS (Unconditioned Stimulus): This is a stimulus that naturally and automatically triggers a response without any prior learning. In this case, inhaling pepper naturally causes a person to sneeze reflexively, so pepper is the UCS.
  • UCR (Unconditioned Response): This is the unlearned response that occurs naturally in reaction to the unconditioned stimulus. In this example, the sneezing is the UCR, not the pepper.
  • CS (Conditioned Stimulus): This is a previously neutral stimulus that, after becoming associated with the unconditioned stimulus, eventually triggers a conditioned response. Pepper is not a conditioned stimulus in this scenario.
  • CR (Conditioned Response): This is the learned response to the previously neutral stimulus. Since sneezing in response to pepper is not a learned response, it is not a CR.

Summary: Inhaling pepper causes a person to sneeze reflexively, making pepper the Unconditioned Stimulus (UCS).

In a double-blind study, researchers tested whether small doses of caffeine would improve highly trained male cyclists' times in a hot environment (95 degrees F, 25% humidity). The individuals were 9 highly trained male cyclists who rode a stationary bicycle in a hot climate chamber on three separate occasions. The first session was a familiarization session. On the second session, some athletes took a caffeine pill and the rest took a placebo pill of Metamucil. On the third session, each athlete took the other pill. For each of the second and third sessions, the cyclists were randomly assigned to the treatment and control groups. The study concluded that a small dose of caffeine improves a highly trained male cyclist's time in a hot environment. Complete parts (a) through (d) below. a. Describe the treatment and control groups. Choose the correct answer below. A. The treatment group is the 9 male cyclists after the sessions. The control group is the 9 male cyclists before the sessions. B. The treatment group is the 9 male cyclists before the sessions. The control group is the 9 male cyclists after the sessions. C. The treatment group is the 9 male cyclists when they took Metamucil. The control group is the 9 male cyclists when they took the caffeine pill. D. The treatment group is the 9 male cyclists when they took the caffeine pill. The control group is the 9 male cyclists when they took Metamucil.

The average length of "short hospital stays" for men is slightly longer than that for women, 5.6 days versus 4.7 days. A random sample of recent hospital stays for both men and women revealed the following. The goal of the study is to determine if there is sufficient evidence to conclude, at α=0.1, that the average hospital stay for men is longer than the average hospital stay for women. Men Women Sample size 38 33 Sample mean 5.6 days 4.7 days Population standard deviation 1.3 days 1.7 days What would be the critical value(s).
