The infant Albert developed a fear of rats after a white rat was associated with a loud noise. In this example, fear of the white rat was the conditioned response (CR). unconditioned stimulus (US) conditioned stimulus (CS). unconditioned response (UR)

This question is about classical conditioning, a type of learning in which an organism learns to associate two stimuli, such that one stimulus comes to elicit a response that was originally elicited by another stimulus. In the given scenario, Albert, the infant, initially had no fear of the white rat (the neutral stimulus). However, after the rat was repeatedly paired with a loud noise (the unconditioned stimulus), Albert began to fear the rat. The fear that Albert now has towards the rat is a learned response, and is therefore the conditioned response. The loud noise, which naturally and automatically triggers a fear response, is the unconditioned stimulus. The white rat, which has become associated with the loud noise and now triggers fear, is the conditioned stimulus. The fear response that Albert has towards the rat, which was originally triggered by the loud noise and is now triggered by the rat, is the conditioned response. The unconditioned response would be the natural reaction to the loud noise, which is fear. Therefore, the fear of the white rat is the conditioned response (CR).
