a stimulus that elicits a response--known as an unconditioned response --that does not need to be learned by the animal

                            In classical conditioning, the stimulus that produces what is initially the unconditioned response.
                                                            
                                                     
                        
                                                
                        
                        
                            In Classical Conditioning, any stimulus that can elicit reactions from a subject with out prior conditioning.
                                                            
                                                     
                        
                                                
                        
                        
                            Respondent behavior that is unlearned; a response is naturally emitted after exposure to a stimulus
                                                            
                                                     
                        
                                                
                        
                        
                            Stimulus that, without prior training, elicits a reflexlike response (unconditioned response).
                                                            
                                                     
                        
                                                
                        
                        
                            In classical conditioning, a stimulus that automatically elicits a response, typically via a reflex, without prior conditioning. See also conditioned response, conditioned stimulus, unconditioned response.
