Label the unconditioned stimulus (UCS), unconditioned response (UCR), conditioned stimulus (CS) and conditioned response (CR). * The UCS and UCR are the naturally occurring part that does not require learning for the association to take place. We don’t have to teach a dog to salivate when food is placed in his mouth, he just does it naturally based on his biological reflexes.
