2.K.D. is a male betta fish. He resides in a rectangular 10-gallon tank alone. When his owner shows him a blue colored card on either side of the tank, he does not swim towards it or away from it. His owner begins providing consequences to K.D.’s intentional swimming. Across a few weeks, his owner presents blue colored cards (square, rectangle, triangle, etc.). If K.D. did not swim towards the side of the tank where the blue colored card was placed within 5 seconds, a single drop of water was placed in the tank using a controlled dropper. If he did swim towards the corresponding side of the tank within 5 seconds of the colored card being placed, a freeze-dried bloodworm (species specific preferred snack, not provided any other time) was placed into the tank. After approximately 5 weeks, K.D. reliably swims to the side of the tank where a blue colored card is placed without requiring his bloodworm snack after each occurrence.
Prior to the owner implementing the water/worm consequences, the blue colored card was a/an _____.
a.Neutral stimulus
b.Reinforcing stimulus
c.None of the above
d.Punishing stimulus
