Final answer:

The animal's saliva production at the sight of an empty food dish signifies it as a conditioned stimulus.


Explanation:

In this scenario, the animal's production of saliva at the sight of an empty food dish indicates that the presentation of the empty food dish is a conditioned stimulus. This is because through repeated pairing with the unconditioned stimulus (food), the neutral stimulus (empty food dish) has acquired the ability to elicit a response.
