CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Classical conditioning was first studied in detail by Ivan Pavlov, who conducted experiments with dogs and published his findings in 1897. During the Russian physiologist’s study of digestion, Pavlov observed that the dogs serving as his subjects drooled when they were being served meat.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -He used a metronome and clicked it right before giving the dogs food. Over time, the sounds of the clicking metronome caused an increase in salivation. This means that the dog learned to associate the metronome and the food with a learned behavior.

Detailed explanation-4: -Pavlov studied a form of learning behavior called a conditioned reflex, in which an animal or human produced a reflex (unconscious) response to a stimulus and, over time, was conditioned to produce the response to a different stimulus that the experimenter associated with the original stimulus.
