Answer 1

Answer:Classical conditioning

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. The neutral signal (previous neutral stimulus ) get associated with unconditioned stimulus and then it will become a conditioned stimulus which will trigger the same effect that is triggered by an Unconditioned stimulus.
