Ask AI: A stimulus that evokes an emotional or physiological response after condition is?

Known as a "Conditioned Stimulus". This is a term used in classical conditioning to refer to a previously neutral stimulus that has been repeatedly associated with a unconditioned stimulus (a stimulus that invokes a natural, reflexive response). After conditioning, this stimulus is capable of invoking the same or similar response as the unconditioned stimulus. For example, if you always hear a doorbell right before you are presented with your favorite meal, over time the doorbell itself might make you start to feel hungry, even if there is no food around. The doorbell in this scenario acts as the conditioned stimulus.
