Classical Conditioning
Classical conditioning is a form of associative learning where a neutral stimulus becomes associated with an unconditioned stimulus to elicit a conditioned response. Pioneered by Ivan Pavlov, it involves pairing a neutral stimulus with an innate, reflexive response until the neutral stimulus alone triggers the response. Over time, the neutral stimulus becomes a conditioned stimulus, evoking a conditioned response. This process illustrates how organisms can learn to associate environmental cues, forming conditioned associations that influence behavior and emotional responses. Classical conditioning is fundamental to understanding various aspects of learning and behavior in psychology.
