• B. Organism
• C. Stimuli
• D. Response

Answer 1

Answer:

C. Stimuli

In psychology, a stimulus is an object or event that causes a behavioral or sensory response in an organism. Stimuli can be internal or external, and they can come in many forms, such as: Irritants, Sights, Smells, Sounds, and Temperature changes. 

The relationship between stimulus and behavior is emphasized in the stimulus-response model, rather than the internal processes of an organism. 

Here are some examples of stimuli in different areas of psychology:

• Perceptual psychology: A stimulus is an energy change, like light or sound, that is registered by the senses and forms the basis for perception.

• Behavioral psychology: A stimulus forms the basis for behavior in classical and operant conditioning.

• Experimental psychology: A stimulus is the event or object to which a response is measured.
