Answer:C
The principle of contiguity involves an association between
A. a negative and a positive stimulus. B. emotion and behavior. C. two events through pairing. D. two events through reinforcement.
Explanation: C) The principle of contiguity involves an association between two events through pairing. For example, the response “stopping” and the stimulus “red light” become associated by being paired. When the driver subsequently sees a red light, the stopping response is the one likely to be selected. (For some drivers, unfortunately, stopping is not always the strongest response in that situation.)
