A neutral stimulus is paired with an unconditioned stimulus that brings about an unconditioned response. Through repeated pairings of the neutral stimulus and the unconditioned stimulus, the
   A) conditioned stimulus will trigger a conditioned response.
   B) neutral stimulus will come to be ignored.
   C) unconditioned response will become extinct.
   D) unconditioned response becomes its own stimulus.

A) A neutral stimulus (e.g., a tuning fork tone) is paired repeatedly with an unconditioned stimulus (e.g., meat powder) which brings about an unconditioned response (e.g., salivating to food). The likely result is that the neutral stimulus will trigger a conditioned stimulus that brings about a conditioned response (e.g., salivating in response to the tone). This process is called classical conditioning.
