Salivating at the sound of bell and being afraid of white mice

Explanation:

Unconditioned response is a concept in classical conditioning which was first developed by Pavlov, a Russian psychologist. Unconditioned response is an automatic reaction to a stimulus without learning or training.

For example we jump when we hear a loud sound. Jumping here is an example of unconditioned response.

Salivating at the sound of bell and being afraid of white mice are the unconditioned responses in these examples.
