Answer 1

The answer to this question is "neutral stimulus". In Pavlov's studies on the classical conditioning, the bell was a neutral stimulus before it was paired with the food and conditioned stimulus occurred after the conditioning level. The study shows that the bell has a mental connection before it is being paired with the food.

Answer 2

Answer:

conditioned stimulus (CS)

Explanation:

This neutral stimulus is called the conditioned stimulus (CS): Its power to elicit behav- ior is conditioned on its association with the UCS. After several trials, the CS will produce a response called the conditioned response (CR).
