Pavlov would repeatedly present neutral stimuli (ns) such as tone, just before an unconditional stimulus (us) such as food which triggered unconditional response (ur) of salivation. ur is event that occurs naturally in response to some stimulus. ur is something that naturally & automatically triggers unlearned response.
