In classical conditioning, an unlearned inborn reaction to an unconditioned stimulus is called an unconditioned response. This natural response occurs automatically without any learning involved.
The unconditional response in Watson and Rayner's Little Albert study was the fear reaction that Little Albert displayed when he was exposed to loud noises (unconditioned stimulus) such as a hammer hitting a steel bar (unconditioned response). This fear reaction was natural and unlearned.
Neutral stimulus
This phenomenon is known as vicarious conditioning, where an individual learns to associate a stimulus with a response or emotion by observing someone else's reactions. It demonstrates the influence of social learning on conditioning processes, showing that conditioning can occur indirectly through observation of others.
For classical conditioning to occur a neutral stimulus must be paired with an unconditioned stimulus. The neutral stimulus is initially meaningless to the organism but becomes associated with the unconditioned stimulus after the two are repeatedly paired together. This process of association is known as classical conditioning. The following are the components needed for classical conditioning to occur: A neutral stimulus An unconditioned stimulus A response ReinforcementThe neutral stimulus is something that does not initially produce a response. It is usually a sound taste or smell. The unconditioned stimulus is something that naturally produces a response. It is usually a food or something that causes pain or discomfort. The response is the reaction to the unconditioned stimulus such as salivating or flinching. Reinforcement is the use of rewards or punishments to strengthen the association between the neutral stimulus and the unconditioned stimulus.
A neutral stimulus is defined as a stimulus that does not naturally elicit a specific response or reaction from an organism. It only becomes effective in producing a response when it is paired with an unconditioned stimulus during classical conditioning.

Elicited in classical conditioning refers to the automatic or reflexive response that is triggered by a specific stimulus. It is a natural reaction that occurs without any conscious effort or awareness from the individual.

It demonstrates the influence of social learning on conditioning processes, showing that conditioning can occur indirectly through observation of others.
In Pavlov's experiments with dogs, the unconditional response was the dogs' salivation when they were presented with food. This response occurred naturally and automatically without any prior conditioning, demonstrating the dogs' innate physiological reaction to the food stimulus. Pavlov's work illustrated how a neutral stimulus, like a bell, could be paired with the food to eventually elicit salivation through conditioning.
A reflex is a response to a given stimulus.an automatic instinctive unlearned reaction to a stimulus
An event or object that is followed by an unlearned or innate response is known as a stimulus. In behavioral psychology, this can refer to a stimulus that elicits a natural reaction without prior conditioning, such as a loud noise provoking a startle reflex. Examples include a bright light causing squinting or a sudden drop in temperature leading to shivering. These responses are typically automatic and do not require prior learning.

Chemotherapy patients often experience taste aversions to particular foods because they undergo a process of learning called classical conditioning. Classical conditioning occurs when a particular thing that doesn't actually elicit any reaction (called a neutral stimulus) is paired with something that naturally elicits some reaction (called an unconditioned stimulus), and then an association develops between the original stimulus and the reaction (after which the neutral stimulus is then referred to as the conditioned stimulus). The chemicals used in chemotherapy (unconditioned stimulus) are what naturally cause nausea and vomiting; however, sometimes food eaten soon after receiving chemotherapy treatment (neutral stimulus) can be associated with the feeling of illness caused by the chemo, then leading the patient to develop an aversion to that particular food item (now a conditioned stimulus). Typically, classical conditioning requires multiple pairings of the unconditioned and neutral stimulus; however, learned taste aversions can develop after a single pairing, because the body is biologically prepared to develop these.
