Definitions:

Conditioned Stimulus

In classical conditioning, a previously neutral stimulus that, after becoming associated with the unconditioned stimulus, eventually comes to trigger a conditioned response.

Unconditioned Stimulus

In classical conditioning, a stimulus automatically elicits a response without the need for prior learning.

Conditioned Response

A conditioned reaction to a stimulus that was once neutral, which becomes learned after being consistently paired with an unconditioned stimulus.

Unconditioned Response

An automatic, natural reaction to an unconditioned stimulus, not learned through prior experience or conditioning.
