Answer 1

Answer:

Conditioned Stimulus

Explanation:

The answer is --

"Conditioned Stimulus"

           Conditioned stimulus are response or behaviors that arises from a specific stimuli. An unconditional stimulus is a behavior that comes naturally due to a stimuli.

          The conditioned stimulus is a  neutral stimulus previously and after it had been associated with the unconditioned stimulus, becomes a  conditioned response.

          For example, when  a person moves by a house, the dog present in that house barks at him and attacks. Now the place or the house where the dog barked at the person becomes a conditioned stimulus and the man feels fear whenever he passes that house.

        Similarly, when Michael moves his dog's food dish, his dog responds to it and acts hungry. This is because, it has become a conditioned stimulus for the dog to feel hungry and gets exited when the dog hears the sound of the dish.

Thus the answer is ---

Conditioned Stimulus
