Punishment
B
Positive Reinforcement
C
Pavlov’s Dog
D
Skinner Box
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The best-known example of this is from what some believe to be the father of classical conditioning: Ivan Pavlov. In an experiment on canine digestion, he found that over time dogs were salivating not only when their food was presented to them, but when the people who fed them arrived.

Detailed explanation-2: -Pavlov’s Dogs 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.

Detailed explanation-3: -Classical conditioning (also known as Pavlovian or respondent conditioning) is a behavioral procedure in which a biologically potent stimulus (e.g. food) is paired with a previously neutral stimulus (e.g. a triangle).

Detailed explanation-4: -Classical conditioning is learning through association and was first demonstrated by Ivan Pavlov. Pavlov showed that dogs could be conditioned to salivate at the sound of a bell if that sound was repeatedly presented at the same time that they were given food.

Detailed explanation-5: -The three stages of classical conditioning include: Before Conditioning, During Conditioning, and After Conditioning. During the Before Conditioning stage, both an unconditioned stimulus and unconditioned response will be observed. An unconditioned stimulus is one that provokes a natural response.
