According to Garcia and Koelling's taste aversion studies, the unconditioned stimulus was the unfamiliar taste paired with a nausea-inducing agent, such as a radiation or a drug. In this case, feeling sick is the unconditioned response, not the unconditioned stimulus. The shock was not part of the taste aversion studies but a different type of classical conditioning experiment. The tone was not used as an unconditioned stimulus in this study, it was used as a conditioned stimulus paired with other stimuli.
