Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the key terms in classical conditioning: a stimulus is any event or object that elicits a response, and a response is the behavior or reaction to that stimulus.
Identify that an unlearned and automatic response means the behavior occurs naturally without prior learning or conditioning.
Recall that a 'neutral stimulus' initially does not elicit any specific response before conditioning.
Recognize that a 'conditioned response' is a learned response to a previously neutral stimulus after conditioning.
Conclude that the term for an unlearned and automatic response to a stimulus is the 'unconditioned response', which naturally occurs without prior learning.
