AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -A child is scolded (unpleasant event) for ignoring homework (undesirable behavior.) A parent gives a child a time-out (unpleasant consequence) for throwing tantrums (unwanted behavior.) The police gives a driver a ticket (unpleasant stimulus) for speeding (unwanted behavior.)

Detailed explanation-2: -Conditioning is a type of learning that links some sort of trigger or stimulus to a human behavior or response.

Detailed explanation-3: -In general, classical conditioning involves the pairing of two stimulus events, typically a neutral conditioned stimulus (CS), and an unconditioned stimulus (US). That an association between these two events is learned is reflected in the acquisition of a conditioned response (CR) to the CS.

Detailed explanation-4: -The most famous example of classical conditioning was Ivan Pavlov’s experiment with dogs, who salivated in response to a bell tone. Pavlov showed that when a bell was sounded each time the dog was fed, the dog learned to associate the sound with the presentation of the food.
