CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -In classical conditioning, the initial period of learning is known as acquisition, when an organism learns to connect a neutral stimulus and an unconditioned stimulus.

Detailed explanation-2: -Acquisition. Acquisition is the initial stage of learning, when a response is first established and gradually strengthened.5 During the acquisition phase of classical conditioning, a neutral stimulus is repeatedly paired with an unconditioned stimulus.

Detailed explanation-3: -A neutral stimulus becomes a conditioned stimulus when used together with an unconditioned stimulus. With repeated exposures to both the neutral stimulus and the unconditioned stimulus at the same time, the neutral stimulus will begin to elicit a response known as a conditioned response.

Detailed explanation-4: -A neutral stimulus is a stimulus that at first elicits no response. Pavlov introduced the ringing of the bell as a neutral stimulus. An unconditioned stimulus is a stimulus that leads to an automatic response. In Pavlov’s experiment, the food was the unconditioned stimulus.

Detailed explanation-5: -1) Acquisition is the initial learning of the connection between the unconditioned stimulus and the conditioned stimulus when these two stimuli are paired.
