Dimitri and Rita eat some donuts for breakfast and then spend the morning at an amusement park. After a few hours of riding the Super Looper Double Twist Dimitri feels nauseous and regurgitates the donuts. Rita is fine, but Dimitri has developed a ________, and the next time they stop for donuts, Dimitri immediately feels ill.

a. taste aversion

b. taste response

c. unconditioned aversion

d. unconditioned response

Solution

Taste aversion is a condition which is generally developed after ingestion of food that causes nausea, vomiting, and sickness.

This condition serves as a mechanism to avoid poisonous substances before they can cause harm to our body.

This condition is most commonly seen in human beings.

When a person eats bad food, he develops nausea and becomes aversive to that food.

The same thing happened in the above case. Dimitri has developed a food aversion for donuts. The next time they stop for donuts, Dimitri immediately feels ill.

Therefore, option A is correct.
