What is a trigger? A trigger is a conditioned response.
Example: After you have just eaten lunch and you walk down the street and you pass a bakery that smells delicious, are you temped to go in and have something to eat even-though you all ready ate? You know you’re not hungry but that still does not stop you.
The trigger is the smell———————- your response is eating when your not hungry.
