A previously neutral stimulus that, through repeated pairing with an unconditioned stimulus, comes to trigger a conditioned response.
From Latin 'condicio' (agreement) + 'stimulus' (goad). A stimulus made effective through conditioning.
A conditioned stimulus starts as nothing special — but pair it with something meaningful enough times, and it becomes a trigger all on its own. That's Pavlov's bell!
