The unconditioned stimulus in this example would be the shock which then causes the unconditioned response‚ in this case‚ its siphon response. Eventually‚ the light will become a conditioned stimulus and the fear/reflex would become the conditioned response. This can lead to further findings on learning and memory as well as

also referred to as Pavlovian conditioning (Weiten‚ 2008)‚ was discovered by a Russian physiologist‚ Ivan Pavlov. This form of learning presents how an unconditioned stimulus (UCS)‚ or a neutral event‚ is initially unable to evoke an unconditioned response (UCR)‚ or a reflexive response‚ but attains the ability to do so by pairing with another stimulus that can elicit such a response.
