Classical Conditioning is when we learn to associate 2 stimuli and to anticipate an event.
Pavlov found classical conditioning through temporal association - an associating formed by time.
When he performed an unconditioned stimulus (one that creates an automatic, autonomic, or reflexive response in an organism. It's unlearned), he would get an unconditioned response (an unlearned response that can be elicited from an organism). When simply performing a conditioned stimulus (one that can be learned), there was no response. However, when paired with an unconditioned stimulus, there would be a conditioned response (a learned response association).
I found a very cool video that demonstrates the concepts of classical conditioning:
It's really cool to see a real life example of how this works.
This was too good! I feel bad for his roommate, but wow! It's nice to see Pavlov's theory in action! Can we try this on someone?
ReplyDelete"Only Bryan was harmed in the making of this film"... too good.
Can we, though? We have to think of something creative!
