Question: 1 / 400

In classical conditioning, what type of stimulus elicits an unlearned response?

Conditioned

Unconditioned

In classical conditioning, an unconditioned response is triggered by an unconditioned stimulus. An unconditioned response is an innate or reflexive response that is not learned. The unconditioned response is a naturally occurring behavior in response to a specific stimulus. In this case, the unconditioned stimulus is the one that elicits the unlearned response. Option A and D are incorrect because conditional and neutral stimuli are introduced during the conditioning process, not the ones that elicit an unconditioned response. Option C is also incorrect because a calibrated stimulus refers to a stimulus that has been specifically measured or adjusted, not one that elicits an unlearned response. Therefore, the correct answer is B Unconditioned.
