    A. The goldfish swimming to the top of the tank when the light is turned on is the CR because the fish has learned to behave in this way.

    B. The light is the CS because the goldfish has learned to respond to this stimulus. The light was initially an NS.

    C. The food is the US because this stimulus will naturally cause the fish to swim to the top of the tank.
