The UCS (unconditioned stimulus) elicits a response in classical conditioning. The UCR (unconditioned response) is the automatic response that is already present before any conditioning takes place. The CER (conditioned emotional response) refers to a learned emotional reaction to a previously neutral stimulus that has been associated with the UCS through conditioning. CSR (conditioned stimulus response) is not a commonly used term in classical conditioning.
