CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -To test his theory, Pavlov set up an experiment in which he rang a bell shortly before presenting food to the dogs. At first, the dogs elicited no response to the bells. However, eventually, the dogs began to salivate at the sound of the bell alone.

Detailed explanation-2: -Ivan Pavlov developed an experiment testing the concept of the conditioned reflex. He trained a hungry dog to salivate at the sound of a metronome or buzzer, which was previously associated with the sight of food.

Detailed explanation-3: -A strength of classical conditioning theory is that it is scientific. This is because it’s based on empirical evidence carried out by controlled experiments. For example, Pavlov (1902) showed how classical conditioning could be used to make a dog salivate to the sound of a bell.

Detailed explanation-4: -Pavlov paired stimulus with response to shape behavior, known as classical conditioning. Skinner developed operant conditioning-that is, how the consequences of a behavior increase or decrease the likelihood that the behavior will happen again.
