Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In classical conditioning, a stimulus is any event or situation that evokes a response. The conditioning process involves pairing an unconditioned stimulus (UCS) that naturally triggers a response, with a neutral stimulus (NS) that initially does not elicit a response. Over time, the NS becomes a conditioned stimulus (CS) that can trigger the same response as the UCS.
