Which of these stimuli is more likely to bring out a reaction from you: the sound of a ringing telephone or the smell escaping from a bakery ?

Sound of a ringing phone

Explanation:

Throughout the years, we've all grown accoustomed to jumping and running to the phone whenever it rings. It's become a habit to the point that even a phone that doesn't belong to you makes you jump up.

As for a bakery smell, I'm sure we're also used to Mom and Dad saying no to ice cream, hot dogs, and freshly baked cookies. Our brains are not AS wired to jump up and go buy cookies as it is to answer the phone.

Let me know if you need any more explanations of this.

Have an amazing night!
