Classical Conditioning

In classical conditioning, an unconditioned stimulus (UCS) reliably evokes an unconditioned response (UCR). By pairing the UCS with a neutral stimulus (NS), the NS becomes a conditioned stimulus (CS) that elicits a conditioned response (CR). For example, a dog naturally salivates (UCR) when presented with food (UCS). If a bell (NS) is consistently paired with the food, the bell (CS) will eventually trigger salivation (CR) even without the food.
