Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An unconditioned reflex is a reflex that occurs automatically in response to a stimulus without any prior learning. Examples of unconditioned reflexes include blinking in response to a puff of air or flinching from a painful stimulus. Conditioned and respondent conditioning involve learning associations between stimuli and responses over time. Operant conditioning involves learning to associate behaviors with consequences.
