Tom's chihuahua lunges on its front legs when she hears the clank of her food bowl. The lunging is considered a conditioned response.
Key Takeaway: In classical condition, a condition response is a behavioral response to a conditioned stimulus. When a chihuahua is first fed, she hears a clank of her food bowl. This clank is initially neutral because it has nothing to do with feeding. After several days and weeks, the chihuahua is conditioned to respond to the clank of her bowl because it means that food is near. The lunging forward is, then, a conditioned response.
