<P> A neutral stimulus is a stimulus which initially produces no specific response other than focusing attention . In classical conditioning , when used together with an unconditioned stimulus , the neutral stimulus becomes a conditioned stimulus . With repeated presentations of both the neutral stimulus and the unconditioned stimulus , the neutral stimulus will elicit a response as well , known as a conditioned response . Once the neutral stimulus elicits a conditioned response , the neutral stimulus becomes known as a conditioned stimulus . The conditioned response is the same as the unconditioned response , but occurs in the presence of the conditioned stimulus rather than the unconditioned stimulus . </P>
