Unconditioned stimulus (us): something that reliably produces a naturally occurring reactions in an organism. Unconditioned response (ur): a reflexive reaction that is reliably produced by a unconditioned stimulus. Conditioned response (cs): a previously neutral stimulus that produces a reliable response to an organism after being paired with an unconditioned stimulus (us) Pavlov"s dog salivates to the sound of the bell because it has been paired with the food multiple times. Conditioned response (cr): a reaction that resembles an unconditioned response but is produced by a conditioned stimulus. Pavlov"s dog salivating to the sound of the bell. Acquisition: the phase of classical conditioning when the cs and the us are presented together. Initial phase of classical conditioning, there is a gradual increase in learning; starts low, rises rapidly then tapers off slowly.
