Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In classical conditioning, the sight of the snake would be the conditioned stimulus (CS), which is the neutral stimulus that becomes associated with the unconditioned stimulus (US) (in this case, the fear response to snakes) through repeated pairings. Over time, the CS elicits a conditioned response (CR), which is the same response as the original unconditioned response (UR) but is now triggered by the CS alone.
