Detailed explanation-1: -In classical conditioning, the tendency for a stimulus that is similar to the original conditioned stimulus to elicit a response that is similar to the conditioned response. Usually, the more similar the new stimulus is to the original conditioned stimulus, the larger will be the conditioned response.

Detailed explanation-2: -The goal of classical conditioning is to pair an unconditioned response with a neutral stimulus to create a conditioned response to that stimulus.

Detailed explanation-3: -This form of learning links voluntary actions with receiving either a reward or punishment, often to strengthen or weaken those voluntary behaviors. Classical conditioning is a learning process focused more on involuntary behaviors, using associations with neutral stimuli to evoke a specific involuntary response.

Detailed explanation-4: -In the learning process known as classical conditioning, the unconditioned stimulus (UCS) is one that unconditionally, naturally, and automatically triggers a response.
