Explanation / Answer

1. The unconditioned response is salivation. Salivation is an unlearned response that occurs naturally in the presence of food.
2. The unconditioned stimulus is food. This is because food naturally and automatically triggers a response.
3. The neutral stimulus is the electrical can opener. A neutral stimulus is a stimulus which initially produces no specific response.
4. The conditioned stimulus is also the electrical can opener. A conditioned stimulus is a previously neutral stimulus, which is the can opener, that eventually triggers an unconditioned response.
5. The conditioned response is salivation. Here, the dog salivates after learning to pair the neutral stimulus with the unconditioned stimulus.
