Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In classical conditioning, one must pair the unconditioned stimulus (UCS) with the conditioned stimulus (CS) before conditioning can occur. Therefore, choice B - UCS and CS - is the correct answer. Choice A is incorrect because the conditioned response (CR) is a result of the conditioning process, not a necessary component for pairing. Choice C is incorrect because the CR is a response to the CS, not a necessary component for pairing. Choice D is incorrect because the unconditioned response (UCR) is a natural response to the UCS, not a necessary component for pairing.
