Unconditional stimulus: something that reliably produces a naturally occurring reaction in an organism. Unconditional response: reflexive reaction that is reliably produced by an unconditional stimulus. Conditioned stimulus: previously neutral stimulus that produces a reliable response in an organism after being paired with a us. Pairing food with the sound of a bell. Conditioned response: reaction that resembles an unconditioned response but is produced by a conditioned stimulus. The phase of classical conditioning when the cs and the us are presented together. Conditioning where a cs is paired with a stimulus that became associated with the us in and earlier procedure. Extinction: the gradual elimination of a learned response that occurs when the cs is repeatedly presented without the us.
