Classical Conditioning in The Office [Blog #7]

Sometimes it's kind of hard for me to label things correctly when talking about classical conditioning. I get the concept; that part is really simple. But naming the stimuli and responses is kind of tricky for me. I found a good example of classical conditioning from an episode of The Office where Jim conditions Dwight to want an Altoid when a certain sound comes from Jim's computer. It's a pretty funny video. Anyway, I typed the experiment below in a way that made the most sense to me.
Bad Breath = Desire for Altoid
Sound from Jim's Computer + Bad Breath = Desire for Altoid
Sound from Jim's Computer = Desire for Altoid
