Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the basic terms in classical conditioning: the unconditioned stimulus (US) naturally elicits an unconditioned response (UR) without prior learning.
Recognize that a neutral stimulus (NS) initially does not elicit the response of interest before conditioning.
During conditioning, the neutral stimulus is paired repeatedly with the unconditioned stimulus, becoming a conditioned stimulus (CS).
After conditioning, the conditioned stimulus (CS) elicits a response similar to the unconditioned response, but this learned response is called the conditioned response (CR).
Therefore, the response elicited by the conditioned stimulus is referred to as the conditioned response.
