In classical conditioning, the unconditioned response (UR) is an unlearned reaction to a given stimulus. The unconditioned response is a reflexive or automatic response that occurs without prior learning. In the example you provided, the sneezing in response to pollen is the unconditioned response.

So in your example, sneezing is the unconditioned response to the pollen, which is the unconditioned stimulus (UCS).
