Detailed explanation-1: -A bell rings, then a puff of air into the eye causes a reflexive blink. After this happens on several occasion, the bell ringing alone causes a conditioned reflexive blink.

Detailed explanation-2: -The dogs salivating for food is the unconditioned response in Pavlov’s experiment. A conditioned stimulus is a stimulus that can eventually trigger a conditioned response. In the described experiment, the conditioned stimulus was the ringing of the bell, and the conditioned response was salivation.

Detailed explanation-3: -Using the terminology of the classical conditioning paradigm, the conditioned stimulus (CS) is a learned stimulus that can eventually trigger a conditioned response. For example, the sound of a bell is the conditioned stimulus in Pavlov’s experiment, and the dogs salivating would be the conditioned response.

Detailed explanation-4: -Definition. Eye blink conditioning is one type of classical conditioning. Application of air puff to an eye makes the eyelid close to prevent injury of the eyeball. This is a simple defensive reflex and air puff is called unconditioned stimulus.
