Salivation is a natural response to the presence of food (unconditioned stimulus) and is not typically considered a conditioned stimulus. However, in a classical conditioning context, salivation can become a conditioned response if it is consistently paired with a neutral stimulus (like a bell) that initially elicits no salivation, but comes to do so after repeated pairings with the food.
conditioned response, specifically in the context of classical conditioning. This type of learning involves associating the neutral stimulus with an unconditioned stimulus to elicit the response.
The purpose it to associate an unconditioned stimulus (ex: sound of a bell) to a conditioned stimulus (ex: food) in order to get a conditioned response (ex: salivation) every time the subject being conditioned is exposed to the unconditioned stimulus (ex: sound of a bell creates salivation).
Neutral stimulus
It's a previously neutral action which comes to be associated with a real stimulus so that eventually it will cause the response. The classic example is with Pavlov's dogs. He showed them food (stimulus), causing them to salivate (response). At the same time he rang a bell. Eventually they would salivate at the sound of the bell alone. The bell was a conditioned stimulus.
An unconditioned stimulus UCS is stimuli or anything that brings out a reaction that is innate, not learned, automatic, etc.A conditioned stimulus CS is a once neutral or unrelated stimulus that has been paired with an unconditioned stimulus, which after training and learning signals the conditioned response.Take a dog for example. A dog will salivate at the sight of food, salivation is the unconditioned stimulus, dogs don't learn how to drool they just do. Then pair the sight of food with the ringing of a bell, once unrelated, and the dog will learn to associate the bell with food and will therefore salivate. And the bell becomes the conditioned stimulus.For more information/source go to Exploring Psychology by David Myers

conditioned stimulus
Prior to being paired with the presentation of the meat powder, the ringing of the bells was referred to as a "neutral stimulus." In classical conditioning, this neutral stimulus eventually became a conditioned stimulus after being associated with the unconditioned stimulus (the meat powder), leading to a conditioned response (salivation in Pavlov's experiment).

conditioned stimulus
In "classical" or "respondent" conditioning (as observed by Pavlov), a "conditioned response" (CR) is learned when a "conditioned stimulus" (CS) is presented before and/or during the presence of an "unconditioned stimulus" (UCS). The CR is similar to the "unconditioned response" (UCR) in that the same physiological effectors are recruited to respond. For example, when Pavlov rang a bell (CS) before introducing meat powder (UCS) in a dog's mouth, the salivation (UCR) that normally begins the dog's digestion processes came under the control of the bell. This learned salivation in response to the bell (no longer involving digestion at all) is the conditioned response (CR). Both the UCR and the CR involve the salivary glands. Interestingly, the UCR of salivation produces saliva that is chemically distinct from that of the CR of salivation.

We refer to a conditioning stimulus and conditioned response. The conditioning stimulus is feedback that creates, enhances or intensifies a reaction, which is the conditioned response. In a famous series of experiments by Dr. Ivan Pavlov in the late 19th Century, dogs drooled when he gave them food and rang a bell rung at the same time. After awhile the dogs drooled at just the sound of the bell. The sound of the bell was the conditioning stimulus, and the physiological reaction of salivation in the dogs was the conditioned response.
In classical conditioning, the conditioned stimulus will trigger the conditioned response. It is also referred to as respondent conditioning.
The bell ringing is called a conditioned stimulus, while the meat powder is an unconditioned stimulus. The process by which the dogs learned to salivate in response to the bell alone is known as classical conditioning.
