Question 5

A young man says:

"When I was 6 years old, I was visiting a farm and a large rooster suddenly flew at my face and scratched me, which was extremely painful and scary. Even now, many years later, I cannot bear to look at a chicken or a rooster. They make me feel absolutely terrified!"

Use your knowledge of classical conditioning to explain why the young man is terrified of chickens and roosters.
