Unconditional response (ur): a response that"s automatic, re exive and requires no prior learning. Some examples are salivating, someone blows in your eyes you automatically blink, walking along hallway and someone jumps out from behind closed door and you inch. Unconditioned stimulus (us): proceeds and triggers the ur. Conditioned stimulus (cs): any stimulus thats paired with the unconditioned stimulus and eventually elicits a response identical to the unconditioned response. Conditioned response (cr): response triggered by cs and identical to the ur.
