Question

4) Nose Hair Double Take Jamal goes in for his yearly eye check-up. As part of his examination, the doctor needs to shoot a puff of air into Jamal's eye to check for glaucoma. This quick puff causes Jamal's eye to reflexively blink a few times. However, the doctor has.to get extremely close to Jamal with his head tilted up when he performs the test, and Jamal can quite clearly see the doctor's nose hair sprouting out of his nostril when this happens. Curiously, whenever Jamal goes to trim his own nose hair in the mirror, he sometimes can't stop blinking. L. What is the unconditioned stimulus? 2. What is the unconditioned response? 3.
