Detailed explanation-1: -A neutral stimulus is a stimulus that at first elicits no response. Pavlov introduced the ringing of the bell as a neutral stimulus.
Detailed explanation-2: -Classical conditioning is learning through association and was first demonstrated by Ivan Pavlov. Pavlov showed that dogs could be conditioned to salivate at the sound of a bell if that sound was repeatedly presented at the same time that they were given food.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Unconditioned Stimulus in Pavlov’s Experiment Salivation occurred automatically and without the dogs’ conscious effort when they smelled the food. This response required no learning. The food was an unconditioned stimulus because it prompted a reflexive response.
Detailed explanation-4: -This is known as conditioned stimulus. In Pavlov’s experiment, ringing of the bell is a neutral stimulus. After becoming associated with the unconditioned stimulus like food, it become conditioned.
