Before conditioning occurred, salivation was the UR (unconditioned response), which is an automatic, reflexive response to the presentation of the US (unconditioned stimulus). In this case, the US was the meat powder, which naturally induced salivation in the dogs. The bell was not initially associated with any response and was not a part of the experiment until conditioning began.
