The unconditioned stimulus in the scenario Rachel training her dog Duke is the squeaking mouse. Squeaking the mouse and knocking on the door at the same time is a condition Duke to bark. An unconditioned response is an unlearned response that occurs naturally in reaction to the unconditioned stimulus.
