The correct answer is a conditioned stimulus.

According to the theory of classical conditioning, a conditioned stimulus (CS) refers to a previously neutral stimulus, that when associated with an unconditioned stimulus (UCS) is sufficient to elicit a response in the absence of the UCS. In Selena's instance, the CS is the toaster, whereas as the UCS is the electric shock. After the CS (plugging in of the toaster) was followed by the UCS (an electrc shock), the CS alone led to a response (fear when using the toaster) in Selena.

kobusy [5.1K]

In the novel Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison, the main character, an African American, suffers from a harsh exhibition of prejudice and discrimination caused by the color of his skin. He was invited to give the same farewell speech he said to his high school classmates in front of a town’s meeting which had a majority of white male citizens. In its place, there was a fight which involves his classmates and him. At the end, he tries to recite his speech and he mistakenly uses “social equality” instead of “social responsibility” and that’s when the crowd starts to get angry at him, reminding him of his place in this world. The crowd started to get more upset since they had a misconception of African Americans at that time, they believed they were nothing but an isolated group of society and they were considered a low-life population; additionally, the behavior of the <em>Invisible Man</em> and his classmates was not their best analyzing the standards of morally correct citizens they wanted to achieve. Subsequently, the Invisible man tries to find his place in this world, a place opposite to the opinion that a white America has of him.

the Long-term memory encodes information from short term memory semantically for storage. In other words, the information was in her short term memory and did not enter her long-term memory. This is called synaptic consolidation when information is transferred from short term memory to long term memory
