Solution

  1. Boy A's salivation response to the restaurant menu differs from Boy B's due to conditioned responses.
  2. When people have previously enjoyed excellent foods, their brains may correlate the sight or fragrance with the expectation of a tasty meal, causing salivation.
  3. Boy B's acquaintance with the menu items creates a conditioned reaction to salivate.
  4. Boy A's lack of prior taste associations with the menu items prevents him from salivating and experiencing the conditioned reflex.
