unconditioned means you have never had anything in your life to cause it or give you thought about it

The easiest place to start is with a little example. Consider a hungry dog who sees a bowl of food. Something like this might happen:
Food ---> Salivation
The dog is hungry, the dog sees the food, the dog salivates. This is a natural sequence of events, an unconscious, uncontrolled, and unlearned relationship. See the food, then salivate.
Now, because we are humans who have an insatiable curiosity, we experiment. When we present the food to the hungry dog (and before the dog salivates), we ring a bell. Thus
Bell
with
Food ---> Salivation
We repeat this action (food and bell given simultaneously) at several meals. Every time the dog sees the food, the dog also hears the bell. Ding-dong, Alpo.
Now, because we are humans who like to play tricks on our pets, we do another experiment. We ring the bell (Ding-dong), but we don't show any food. What does the dog do? Right,
Bell ---> Salivate
The bell elicits the same response the sight of the food gets. Over repeated trials, the dog has learned to associate the bell with the food and now the bell has the power to produce the same response as the food. (And, of course, after you've tricked your dog into drooling and acting even more stupidly than usual, you must give it a special treat.)
This is the essence of Classical Conditioning. It really is that simple. You start with two things that are already connected with each other (food and salivation). Then you add a third thing (bell) for several trials. Eventually, this third thing may become so strongly associated that it has the power to produce the old behavior.
Unconditioned" simply means that the stimulus and the response are naturally connected. They just came that way, hard wired together like a horse and carriage and love and marriage as the song goes. "Unconditioned" means that this connection was already present before we got there and started messing around with the dog

Classical conditioning (also Pavlovian conditioning, respondent conditioning or alpha-conditioning) is a type of associative learning. Ivan Pavlov described the learning of conditioned behavior as being formed by pairing two stimuli to condition an animal into giving a certain response. The simplest form of classical conditioning is reminiscent of what Aristotle would have called the law of contiguity, which states that: "When two things commonly occur together, the appearance of one will bring the other to mind." Classical conditioning focuses on reflexive behavior or involuntary behavior. Any reflex can be conditioned to respond to a formerly neutral stimulus.

A conditioned response is something that is learned, like if someone throws something at you, you react by trying to move or catch it. An unconditioned response is something inborn, like crying out when you feel pain. Responses can be both conditioned and unconditioned, many emotional responses are examples of this.

taking pavlovs experiment as example here.........Hope U know abt his experiments.....Dogs that silivate on hearing the bell.
In Pavlov's terms, the food in the mouth is the Unconditioned stimulus(UCS) , which elicits the unconditioned response(CR) of silivation. the word unconditioned indicates that conenctionbetween the particular stimulus and response does not have to be learned. The new sttimulus that comes to elicit silaivatioon is called the conditioned stimulus(CS) and the animal's silivation in response to it is called conditioned response(CR)
the word condtioned indicates that this new response is learned through an association of events ( in this case an association between the bell or tone and arriving of food)

a conditiond response is a response that has been trained to happen such as pavloves dog. He rang a bell than fed the dog. after doing this several times when he would ring the bell the dog would salavate. Salavating is not a normal dog response to a ringing bell the dog was conditiond (trained) to think food every time he heard a bell. now an unconditiond response is simply a instictive response that is not trained such as covrring ears when a loud noise occors or whatever

Conditioned is flinching every time someone touches your shoulder. unconditioned is dancing in the rain.
