AP PSYCHOLOGY

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 behavior. After the association is learned, the previously neutral stimulus is sufficient to produce the behavior.

Detailed explanation-2: -Classical conditioning is a simple form of associative learning, where the behavioral response is modified by conditioned stimulus. In the classical example, developed by Ivan Pavlov, dogs produce reflex response of salivation when conditioned with a sound stimulus.

Detailed explanation-3: -Associative learning is defined as learning about the relationship between two separate stimuli, where the stimuli might range from concrete objects and events to abstract concepts, such as time, location, context, or categories. From: Handbook of Clinical Neurology, 2020.

Detailed explanation-4: -Classical conditioning (also known as Pavlovian or respondent conditioning) is learning through association and was discovered by Pavlov, a Russian physiologist. In simple terms, two stimuli are linked together to produce a new learned response in a person or animal.

Detailed explanation-5: -Conditioning is a form of learning in which either (1) a given stimulus (or signal) becomes increasingly effective in evoking a response or (2) a response occurs with increasing regularity in a well-specified and stable environment. The type of reinforcement used will determine the outcome.
