The 'click' sound originally did not directly cause any response from Lucas (unconditioned stimulus and response). However, it has become associated with the blast of freezing air (which is an unconditioned stimulus), leading to the 'click' becoming a conditioned stimulus that elicits a conditioned response of shivering.
