Respondent behavior an automatic response to a certain stimuli ( responding behaviors ) Unconditioned response (ucr) the normal response that is generated (unlearned) i. e. In pavlov"s experiment, the normal response a dog has when presented with food is salivation. Unconditioned stimulus (ucs) the stimulus that triggers a normal response (ucr) i. e. The food is the ucs in pavlov"s experiment. Conditioned response (cr) the response that is learned ( conditioned ) i. e. Pavlov"s dogs learned to salivate upon the presence of a ringing tone. Conditioned stimulus (cs) - a neutral stimulus that triggers a learned response. The ringing is a cs because the dogs learned to salivate at the presence of a ringing tone as opposed to food.
