Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Classical Conditioning
A
A type of learning where behavior is controlled by consequences
B
A learning process that occurs when two stimuli are repeatedly paired; a response that is at first elicited by the second stimulus is eventually elicited by the first stimulus alone
C
The interaction of two or more persons or organizations directed toward a common goal which is mutually beneficial
D
Rapid learning that occurs during a brief receptive period, typically soon after birth or hatching, and establishes a long-lasting behavioral response to a specific individual or object, as attachment to parent, offspring, or site
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The classical conditioning process is all about pairing a previously neutral stimulus with another stimulus that naturally produces a response. After pairing the presentation of these two together enough times, an association is formed.

Detailed explanation-2: -In the first phase of higher-order conditioning, the conditioned stimulus (conditioned stimulus) and unconditioned stimulus (unconditioned stimulus) are paired together. For example, if a tone is paired with food, then the tone will come to elicit salivation.

Detailed explanation-3: -Classical conditioning refers to learning that occurs when a neutral stimulus (e.g., a tone) becomes associated with a stimulus (e.g., food) that naturally produces a behaviour. After the association is learned, the previously neutral stimulus is sufficient to produce the behaviour.

Detailed explanation-4: -Extinction refers to the reduction in responding that occurs when the conditioned stimulus is presented repeatedly without the unconditioned stimulus.
