### Classical Conditioning Example

**Scenario:** Your boyfriend (or girlfriend) used to wear a very unique cologne/perfume. Even though you broke up 6 months ago, you still get a warm feeling on the rare occasion when you smell the cologne/perfume on a stranger.

**Classical Conditioning Terms:**

- **NS (Neutral Stimulus):**  
  - The cologne/perfume before it was associated with your partner.

- **CS (Conditioned Stimulus):**  
  - The cologne/perfume after it became associated with your partner.

- **US (Unconditioned Stimulus):**  
  - The presence or interaction with your partner.

- **UR (Unconditioned Response):**  
  - The warm feeling you experienced when you were with your partner.

- **CR (Conditioned Response):**  
  - The warm feeling you now experience when you smell the cologne/perfume on a stranger.

This example illustrates how a neutral stimulus (the cologne/perfume) can become a conditioned stimulus that elicits a conditioned response (warm feeling) after being paired with an unconditioned stimulus (your partner) that naturally elicits an unconditioned response (warm feeling).
