UCS, UCR, NS, CS, CR
Classical conditioning terms
Real World
In Watson and Rayner's Little Albert study, a white rat (NS→CS) was paired with a loud bang (UCS) until Albert cried at the rat alone (CR), demonstrating each term in a real experimental context.
Exam Focus
Use correct abbreviations and define each term separately; confusing UCS/CS or UCR/CR is one of the most penalised errors.
