Baby Myles has learned to associate the sight of the jar of baby food with food, causing him to open his mouth in anticipation. This is an example of classical conditioning, where a neutral stimulus (the jar of baby food) becomes associated with a naturally occurring stimulus (food) and elicits a response (opening the mouth). The jar of baby food is now a conditioned stimulus because it has been paired with the unconditioned stimulus (food) and now elicits a conditioned response (opening the mouth).
