An unconditioned stimulus (ucs)- naturally triggers a response- An unconditioned responses (ucr)- response that occurs naturally to in reaction to unconditioned stimulus- crying when seeing a rat. A conditioned stimulus (cs)- the once neutral stimulus is now a conditioned stimulus- an association has been learnt and it triggers a certain response- albert pairs the loud gong with the rat.
