The conditioned stimulus would be tone which sounds before the puff of air is released. The conditioned response would be the rabbit blinking to the sound of the tone without receiving a puff of air to its eye. The unconditioned stimulus would be the puff of air. The unconditioned response would be the rabbit’s blink when the puff of air makes contact with the eyeball.
To undo the conditioning, the experimenter would need to issue the conditioned stimulus without using the unconditioned stimulus. This could be done in two ways, the conditioned stimulus could be issued(without the unconditioned stimulus) continuously over a short amount of time, or the conditioned stimulus could be issued without the unconditioned stimulus at the times when the experimenter would periodically use both stimuli.
In both cases, the rabbit would realise that the conditioned stimulus would not warrant a conditioned response after the conditioned stimulus was issued multiple times, thus it would stop responding. If the unconditioned stimulus would be used on the rabbit after the conditioning had been undone, the rabbit would still unconditionally respond.
