Answer 1

Answer:

Classical Conditioning

Explanation:

The Pavlovian theory of classical conditioning is a method in which a living thing learns with an attachment of another environmental stimuli or action. This new stimulus helps to trigger a conditioned reflex over time.

Example is the use of whistle whenever you are to feed you birds, this behavior overtime will result to gathering your birds whenever the whistle is blown.

3-months old Kate has been conditioned that breast quenches her hunger, Kate does not have to be offered the breast, she sucks at any given sight of the breast. Her mind had been conditioned to react to seeing her mum's breast.
