Detailed explanation-1: -The dogs salivating for food is the unconditioned response in Pavlov’s experiment. A conditioned stimulus is a stimulus that can eventually trigger a conditioned response. In the described experiment, the conditioned stimulus was the ringing of the bell, and the conditioned response was salivation.
Detailed explanation-2: -Classical conditioning. Explanation: When Ivan Pavlov trained a dog to salivate and expect food whenever it heard a bell, he demonstrated the existence of classical conditioning.
Detailed explanation-3: -For example, whenever you come home wearing a baseball cap, you take your child to the park to play. So, whenever your child sees you come home with a baseball cap, he is excited because he has associated your baseball cap with a trip to the park. This learning by association is classical conditioning.
Detailed explanation-4: -The correct answer is C. When a dog plays dead she gets a treat in order to encourage her to repeat the behavior. The dog has learned that she will get a treat, positive reinforcement, for playing dead in this example. This is explained through operant conditioning of associating rewards with a behavior.
