Unconditioned response (ur) (salivating): (involuntary automatic) response that occurs to a stimulus without the necessity of learning. Conditioned stimulus (cs) (bell): stimulus that does not elicit a particular response initially but comes to do so as a result of becoming associated with an us. Conditioned response (cr) (salivating): response that comes to be made to the cs as a result of classical conditioning.
