One reason why drug users increase their dosages over time is a classical conditioning phenomenon known as _____________________, which involves physiological responses in preparation for drug administration
FIll in the blank with correct word.
Answer: conditioned drug tolerance
Rationale: Conditioned drug tolerance develops as the body begins associating environmental cues that accompany drug use with the drug itself. The conditioned responses involve responses that prepare the body for something potentially dangerous. Over time, when drug use is done in a consistent environment, more of the drug is needed to override these preparatory responses so that the desired effect can be obtained.
