Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The unconditioned stimulus is the term that characterizes the food in classical conditioning experiments because it is the stimulus that naturally and automatically triggers a response, such as salivation in response to food. The conditioned stimulus and response are learned through association with the unconditioned stimulus and response. The unconditioned response is the natural response to the unconditioned stimulus, while the conditioned response is learned through repeated pairing of the conditioned stimulus with the unconditioned stimulus.
