Answer:

The answer is cute babies.

Explanation:

In classical conditioning, a conditioned stimulus (toilet paper) is associated with an unrelated object or event, called unconditioned stimulus (cute babies). This produces a reaction known as conditioned response (smiling, happiness).

It's important to recognise that unconditioned stimuli do not need to be associated with anything else to produce a response. This means the mere sight of cute babies makes Jillian smile. A different stimulus can be paired with this to provoke the conditioned response.

The unconditioned stimulus is the cute babies.

  • Whenever Jillian see the toilet paper ad, she smiles at cute babies on them.
  • Here, her smiling is the unconditional stimulus because of the babies.
  • Whenever she sees Charmin toilet paper  (a conditioned stimulus), her mind automatically triggers a response and, she gives a smile.

Therefore we can conclude that the sight of cute babies makes Jillian smile.
