Answer
- Unconditioned stimulus (UCS): The sound of the laptop closing loudly.- Conditioned stimulus (CS): The teacher's instruction to quiet down.- Unconditioned response (UCR): Students naturally quieting down at the sound of the laptop closing.- Conditioned response (CR): Students quieting down at the teacher's instruction, which has become associated with the sound of the laptop closing.
