Detailed explanation-1: -An unconditioned stimulus is a stimulus that leads to an automatic response. In Pavlov’s experiment, the food was the unconditioned stimulus. An unconditioned response is an automatic response to a stimulus. The dogs salivating for food is the unconditioned response in Pavlov’s experiment.
Detailed explanation-2: -An unconditioned stimulus (UCS or US) can naturally elicit an automatic response without prior conditioning or learning. It is also called the primary reinforcer. The involuntary response, also known as the unconditioned response, is a reflex triggered by the unconditioned stimulus.
Detailed explanation-3: -The unconditioned stimulus (UCS) is the stimulus which triggers an automatic response that did not have to be learned. The unconditioned response (UCR) is the unlearned response that automatically follows the UCS. The neutral stimulus is a stimulus that happened to be present just before the UCS.
Detailed explanation-4: -The unconditioned stimulus (UCS) is a term described in the learning literature to describe a stimulus that automatically elicits a response (Chance 2009). The UCS is innate; no prior learning has to occur in order for the UCS to elicit a response.
Detailed explanation-5: -The unconditioned response is a reflex that serves as the basis for establishment of the conditioned response in classical conditioning. Also called unconditioned reflex.
