Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The sight of the restaurant is the conditioned stimulus (CS) because it is what is causing the response, and the salivation is the conditioned response (CR) because it is a learned response to the sight of the restaurant. The unconditioned response (UR) would be a natural response to the unconditioned stimulus (US), such as salivating in response to the smell of food.
