Originally an unconditioned stimulus‚ which provides a response without conditioning‚ leads to an unconditioned response‚ which is also unlearned. Conditioning occurs when the neutral stimuli is added along with the unconditioned stimulus. After the two stimuli are associated‚ the neutral stimulus becomes the conditioned stimulus and produces a conditioned response

Later‚ when he rang the bell (CS) again‚ the dogs automatically salivation (CR) without any food
