CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -For classical conditioning to be effective, the conditioned stimulus should occur before the unconditioned stimulus, rather than after it, or during the same time. Thus, the conditioned stimulus acts as a type of signal or cue for the unconditioned stimulus.

Detailed explanation-2: -Classical conditioning theory states that behaviors are learned by connecting a neutral stimulus with a positive one, such as Pavlov’s dogs hearing a bell (neutral) and expecting food (positive). The learned behavior is called a conditioned response.

Detailed explanation-3: -Stimulus Response Theory attempts to explain human behavior as a series of interactions between stimuli and the responses they evoke from human subjects. It is the basis of classical conditioning, as seen in Pavlov’s dogs.

Detailed explanation-4: -Stimulus-Substitution Theory Pavlov (1927) suggested that as a result of conditioning, the conditioned stimulus becomes able to elicit the same response as the unconditioned stimulus.
