The conditioned stimulus was a neutral stimulus before, and it became associated with the unconditioned stimulus.

For example, the smell of food is an unconditioned stimulus, while feeling of hunger is the unconditioned.

When we smell our favorite food, we also heard a horn honking. Horn honking is absolutely unrelated to the smell.

In this case, the sound of horn honking is the conditioned stimulus.

In this case:

Pizza -- unconditioned stimulus

Advertisement -- conditioned stimulus
