Question

Manny Palacios · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : C, Explanation :  In classical conditioning, the conditioned stimulus (CS) is the previously neutral stimulus that, after being paired with an unconditioned stimulus (US), comes to elicit the conditioned response (CR). In this scenario, the sound that signals the delivery of a puff of air is the neutral stimulus that is conditioned to elicit a blink response from Mrs. Webster. Therefore, the sound is the CS. The puff of air is the US, and the blink response is the CR.
