CLASSICAL CONDITIONING VS OPERANT CONDITIONING

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The type of learning in which a stimulus gains the power to cause a response because it reliably predicts another stimulus is called:
A
Operant Conditioning
B
Classical Conditioning
C
Observational Learning
D
Cognitive Learning
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Classical conditioning is a learning process that involves pairing a previously neutral stimulus with a stimulus that naturally evokes a response. After a response has been acquired, the previously neutral stimulus will then evoke the response all on its own.

Detailed explanation-3: -In classical conditioning, a stimulus that triggers a response automatically and reflexively. In classical conditioning, the automatic response to the unconditioned stimulus. In classical conditioning, a previously neutral stimulus that, through learning, has gained the power to cause a conditioned response.

Detailed explanation-4: -Conditioning is a type of learning that links some sort of trigger or stimulus to a human behavior or response.

Detailed explanation-5: -To understand classical conditioning, it is essential to be familiar with the following terms. A neutral stimulus is a stimulus that at first elicits no response. Pavlov introduced the ringing of the bell as a neutral stimulus. An unconditioned stimulus is a stimulus that leads to an automatic response.
