Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The conditioned stimulus in classical conditioning is a previously neutral stimulus that, after becoming associated with the unconditioned stimulus, eventually comes to trigger a conditioned response. In this scenario, the allergy-producing substance would be the unconditioned stimulus because it naturally elicits an allergic reaction (the unconditioned response) without prior conditioning. The conditioned stimulus would be something neutral like the flashing light or humming fan that, when paired with the unconditioned stimulus, can elicit a conditioned response similar to the unconditioned response.
