Explanation:
<u>Classical Conditioning:</u>
<u>Classical conditioning is also known as Pavlovian or respondent conditioning </u>it refers to a learning procedure in which a biologically potent stimulus (e.g. food) is paired with a previously neutral stimulus (e.g. a bell).
The three stages of classical conditioning are
- Before Conditioning
- During Conditioning
- After Conditioning.
<u>Ivan Pavlov</u> conducted a very famous experiment in which he noticed that the dogs began to salivate in response to a bell after the sound had repeatedly been paired with presenting food.
In this theory we talk about the<u> unconditioned stimulus </u>occurring naturally and automatically it triggers salivating as a response to the food, which is known as the <u>unconditioned response</u>.
After <u>Ivan Palvo </u>associated the neutral stimulus with the unconditioned stimulus, the sound of the bell alone will started to evoke salivating as a response.
In the above experiment ,the sound of the bell is now known as the<u> conditioned stimulus</u> and salivating in response to the bell is known as the <u>conditioned response.</u>
