Verified step by step guidance1
Step 1: Understand the concept of classical conditioning, which involves learning through association between two stimuli.
Step 2: Identify the unconditioned stimulus (UCS) as a stimulus that naturally and automatically triggers a response without prior learning.
Step 3: Recognize that a neutral stimulus initially does not elicit the unconditioned response but becomes meaningful through pairing with the UCS.
Step 4: After repeated pairings, the neutral stimulus becomes a conditioned stimulus (CS), which now elicits a learned response similar to the unconditioned response.
Step 5: Conclude that the term for a previously neutral stimulus that, after association with the UCS, elicits a response is the conditioned stimulus (CS).
