Answer 1

The answer is conditioned response. In classical conditioning, it is the learned answer to the formerly neutral stimulus. For instance, let's assume that the odor of food is an unconditioned stimulus, a feeling of starvation in reply the smell is an unconditioned reply, and the sound of a whistle is the conditioned stimulus. The conditioned response would be the feel of hungry when you perceived the sound of the whistle.
