This is the basic contingency of classical conditioning, where the presentation of the conditioned stimulus (CS) is consistently followed by the unconditioned stimulus (US), leading to the acquisition of the conditioned response (CR). The absence of the CS should not result in the presentation of the US, and therefore the absence of the CS should not lead to the occurrence of the response.
