Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Define Unconditioned reflex
A
A form of learning
B
A stimulus that produced the response in an unconditioned reflex
C
A reflex that occurs naturally without any prior learning
D
A response that has been learned
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In classical conditioning, an unconditioned response is an unlearned response that occurs naturally in reaction to the unconditioned stimulus. 1 For example, if the smell of food is the unconditioned stimulus, the feeling of hunger in response to the smell of food is the unconditioned response.

Detailed explanation-2: -The unconditioned reflex is the innate reaction of the organism, which is the same among the members of the given species. Unconditioned reflexes are characterized by a permanent and clear connection between action on the receptor and a certain response, ensuring that organisms adapt to stable living conditions.

Detailed explanation-3: -An unconditioned response is the naturally occurring response; an unconditioned stimulus is the stimulus that evokes an innate response.

Detailed explanation-4: -The key difference between the two is that an unconditioned response is an unlearned response provoked by an unconditional stimulus, whereas a conditioned response is a learned response. Unconditioned responses are innate responses that organisms have from birth, not acquired after birth. They are involuntary reflexes.

Detailed explanation-5: -Definition. An unconditioned response is a response that is reflexive and involuntary in nature, which is reliably induced every time an organism comes across to biologically significant stimuli.
