A student takes notes of a lecture. Quality of his notes became significantly worse when his neighbours began talking. What type of conditional reflex inhibition was the cause of it?

Answer options

1. External
2. Extinctive
3. Differentiated
4. Delayed
5. Protective

Explanation

This phenomenon is called Classical conditioning which refers to a learning procedure in which a biologically potent stimulus (e.g. food) is paired with a previously neutral stimulus (e.g. a flash of light). This can be inhibited either externally or internally (stranger, sudden noise like the bell, or much stronger smell) which can hinder the conditioned reflex.
