Question

In ________ the stimulus or experience occurs before the behavior and then gets paired with the behavior.

Answer 1

in classical conditioning, the stimulus or experience occurs before the behavior and then gets paired with the behavior.

Classical conditioning is a behavioral procedure in which a biologically potent stimulus (e.g., food) is paired with a previously neutral stimulus (e.g. a triangle). It also refers to the learning process that occurs as a result of this pairing, in which the neutral stimulus begins to elicit a response (e.g., salivation) that is typically similar to the one produced by the potent stimulus.

Classical conditioning is a fundamental behavioral mechanism, and its neural substrates are only now being discovered. Though distinguishing classical conditioning from other forms of associative learning (e.g., instrumental learning and human associative memory) can be difficult at times, a number of observations distinguish them, particularly the contingencies under which learning occurs.
