Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The tone is a conditioned stimulus because it has been associated with the delivery of food, which is the unconditioned stimulus. Through repeated pairing with food, the tone becomes a signal for the dog to salivate, even in the absence of the actual food. The term "neutral stimulus" refers to a stimulus that does not elicit any response before conditioning. "Primary conditioner" is not a recognized term in classical conditioning.
