This scenario is an example of classical conditioning, where a neutral stimulus (the tone) becomes associated with an unconditioned stimulus (the puff of air) to produce a conditioned response (the eyeblink). The tone is the conditioned stimulus, as it was previously neutral and now elicits the conditioned response of blinking. The puff of air is the unconditioned stimulus, as it naturally elicits the unconditioned response of blinking.
