Answer: Ivan Pavlov's Salivating Dog experiment.
Explanation:
Classical Conditioning: involves creating a new association between a stimulus and a response.
Examples: sound of a dentists drill-feel anxious, palms sweat. smell of food-feel nauseous
noise of a can opener-cat comes running
Discovered accidentally by Ivan Pavlov
Natural salivation reflex to food in dogs
after conditioning salivation to other stimuli.
Ex: bells, whistles, tones.
Phase 1: Before Conditioning
The first part of the classical conditioning process requires a naturally occurring stimulus that will automatically elicit a response. Salivating in response to the smell of food is a good example of a naturally occurring stimulus.Phase 2: During Conditioning
During the second phase of the classical conditioning process, the previously neutral stimulus is repeatedly paired with the unconditioned stimulus. As a result of this pairing, an association between the previously neutral stimulus and the UCS is formed. At this point, the once neutral stimulus becomes known as the conditioned stimulus (CS).
Phase 3: After Conditioning
Once the association has been made between the UCS and the CS, presenting the conditioned stimulus alone will come to evoke a response even without the unconditioned stimulus
