A classical conditioning reflex occurs when an association is established between normal response or normal body function and a new stimulus. In the given example, the physiologically meaningful stimulus is eating French fries at a new restaurant and represents the unconditioned stimulus.

Vomiting at new restaurant as it occurred in response to unconditioned stimulus was an unconditioned response.
