Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The conditioned stimulus is the stimulus that initially does not produce a response but after pairing with an unconditioned stimulus (in this case, the air puff), it elicits a conditioned response (blink). In this scenario, the tone is the conditioned stimulus as it did not elicit a blink response initially but after being paired with the air puff, it became the trigger for the blink response.
