Classical Conditioning Stimulus And Response
Classical conditioning involves forming an association between two stimuli resulting in a learned response.
Classical conditioning stimulus and response. Classical conditioning was discovered by ivan pavlov a russian physiologist who conducted a series of classic experiments with dogs. Before conditioning the first part of the classical conditioning process requires a naturally occurring stimulus that will automatically elicit a response. Classical conditioning is the process by which a naturally occurring stimulus is paired with a stimulus in the environment and as a result the environmental stimulus eventually elicits the same response as the natural stimulus.
For example the smell of food is an unconditioned stimulus a feeling of hunger in response to the smell is an unconditioned response and the sound of a whistle when you smell the food is the conditioned stimulus. 4 there are three basic phases of this process.
