Maddie is a beagle puppy always looking for her next meal. As soon as she hears the rustle of the dog food bag, she hits the floor running to the kitchen in anticipation of dinner. As she has grown older, she has learned to recognize the difference between the rustle of her owner's chip bags and that of her dog food. She no longer runs to the kitchen when her owner gets some chips for himself. According to classical conditioning, what are the sound of the bag rustling AND Maddie's ability to tell the difference between the bags, respectively?

The sound of the bad rustling is called conditioned stimulus.

Maddie's ability to tell the difference is called discrimination.

Explanation:

In classical conditioning, a conditioned stimulus can be defined as a neutral stimulus that has become associated with an unconditioned stimulus and, eventually, begins to trigger a conditioned response. In Maddie's case, she learned to associate the sound of the bag to being given food. For that reason, the sound of the bag has become the conditioned stimulus that triggers her response of running to the kitchen.

Discrimination, in classical conditioning, is the ability to tell the difference between a stimulus and other stimuli that are similar to it. The sounds of Maddie's dog food bag and the chips bag may be similar, but Maggie has learned to differentiate them. She is showing discrimination, which is why she does not run to the kitchen when she hears the sound of the chips bag.
