Explanation:Classical conditioning is how we learn through associating environmental stimulus with certain responses. This is based on Behaviorism perpective , which is driven by learning through interacting with our environment and how that environment affect our behavior.
Classical conditioning occurs from a natural signal which triggers a natural reflex , natural signal being an unconditioned stimulus which triggers natural response.
