Classical Conditioning
Classical Conditioning The learning phenomenon that I am going to talk about is the ability for my step mother to keep our two springier spaniels by the door of the house while my father and I are out working and hunting. ... Though my brief dealing with Psychology I have come to the conclusion that this is Classical Conditioning in a round about way. Classical Conditioning is behaviors that are elicited automatically by some stimulus. There are four main elements of Classical Conditioning: unconditioned stimulus reflexively produces a response with out prior learning, unconditional response is the unlearned reflexive response, conditional response is the stimulus that is originally neutral but comes to elicit a reflexive response, and finally conditioned response which is the learned reflexive response to the previously neutral stimulus.
