Detailed explanation-1: -But because the cat associates the food with the sound of the can opener, this sound is the conditioned stimulus. Her conditioned response is to run into the kitchen when she hears the sound of the can opener.
Detailed explanation-2: -The difference between an unconditioned stimulus and a neutral stimulus is that an unconditional stimulus (UCS) elicits a natural, reflexive response, called the unconditioned response (UCR), while a neutral stimulus (NS) doesn’t naturally elicit the same response.
Detailed explanation-3: -Classical conditioning is a technique used to teach cats to learn or to become conditioned to a particular sound, smell, or behavior associated with the desired response. For example, the whir of the can opener (associated with food) triggers the cat to come running to the food bowl.
