The Answer is At first the beep is a neutral stimulus that precedes the flash,which is an US that causes the UR of blinking.After a few trials you learn that the beep predicts the flash and the neutral beep becomes a CS causing the CR of blinking.When this happens you begin to blink as soon as you hear the beep (CS),causing your eyes to be closed (CR)when the flash goes off and the picture is taken.To summarize,the flash is the US that causes the UR of blinking.The beep becomes the CS that causes the CR of blinking.
