These phenomena have been analyzed as both stimulus substitution, where the conditioned stimulus (CS) substitutes for the unconditioned stimulus (US), and as behavior systems activated by the US and the physical properties of the CS. This dual perspective acknowledges the complexity of how associative learning can influence behavior, incorporating both the traditional view of stimulus substitution and the role of innate behavior systems.
