    Study Notes

    Key Concepts in Classical Conditioning

    • Unconditioned Stimulus (UCS): A naturally occurring stimulus that produces a response without any prior learning.
    • Unconditioned Response (UCR): An automatic, reflexive reaction to the unconditioned stimulus, requiring no prior conditioning to occur.
    • Conditioned Stimulus (CS): A previously neutral stimulus that, after being paired with an unconditioned stimulus, begins to elicit a conditioned response.
    • Conditioned Response (CR): The learned response to a conditioned stimulus, developed through the process of association with the unconditioned stimulus.
    • Neutral Stimulus (NS): A stimulus that initially does not elicit any response until it is paired with an unconditioned stimulus.
