In classical conditioning, a conditioned stimulus is a previously neutral stimulus that, through repeated association with an unconditioned stimulus (in this case, the taste of dill pickles), elicits a conditioned response (in this case, craving for dill pickles). The sight of a jar on the supermarket shelf is now associated with the taste of pickles, and so it has become a conditioned stimulus for Tim's craving.
