Definitions:

Classical Conditioning

A learning process that occurs when two stimuli are repeatedly paired; a response that is at first elicited by the second stimulus is eventually elicited by the first stimulus alone.

Conditioned Stimulus

A previously neutral stimulus that, after being paired with an unconditioned stimulus, elicits a conditioned response in classical conditioning.

Unconditioned Stimulus

In classical conditioning, a stimulus that naturally and automatically triggers a response without any prior learning.
