Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An inhibitory conditioned stimulus is a stimulus that has been paired with an unconditioned stimulus to produce a conditioned response that is opposite to the original response. In this case, the sight of the syringe (the conditioned stimulus) has been paired with a favorite song (the unconditioned stimulus) to produce a new conditioned response (no longer associating the sight of the syringe with an expected drug effect).
