UCS- naturally, automatically and unconditionally triggers a response

UCR- non learned response that occurs naturally in responses to the unconditioned stimulus

NS - a stimulus which does not elicit a response

Conditioned stimulus- previously neutral stimulus that after becoming associated with the US eventually comes to trigger a conditioned response

Conditioned response- the learned response to the previously neutral stimulus
