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 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-4: -The unconditioned stimulus (UCS) is a stimulus that causes a response automatically. In Pavlov’s experiment, the UCS was the meat powder. The unconditioned response (UCR) is the automatic response to the unconditioned stimulus. In Pavlov’s experiment the UCR was the dog salivating.
Detailed explanation-5: -Now the conditioned stimulus (CS) has been associated with the unconditioned stimulus (UCS) to create a new conditioned response (CR). For example, a person (CS) who has been associated with nice perfume (UCS) is now found attractive (CR).
