CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Classical conditioning emphasizes the importance of learning from the environment, and supports nurture over nature. However, it is limiting to describe behavior solely in terms of either nature or nurture, and attempts to do this underestimate the complexity of human behavior.

Detailed explanation-2: -Classical Conditioning is on the nurture side of the nature/nurture debate because it suggests that all behaviour comes from learned associations rather than innate predispositions.

Detailed explanation-3: -Most psychologists now agree that classical conditioning is a basic form of learning. Furthermore, it is well-known that Pavlovian principles can influence human health, emotion, motivation, and therapy of psychological disorders. There are many clinically related uses of classical conditioning.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.
