Classical Conditioning -is a simple form of associative learning that enables organisms to anticipate events. *Stimulus- an environmental condition that elicits a response. *Pavlov discovered that reflexes can also be learned‚ or conditioned‚ by association. -The

The alarm becomes the signal to start the day. Often what happens is that some people condition themselves to awaken at the same time every day without even hearing the alarm. In the late nineteenth century Ivan Pavlov‚ a Russian physiologist‚ was the first to systematically study classical conditioning (Kowalski &

The philosophy of operant conditioning has been demonstrated in many experiments using different types of species such as animals and humans. Operant conditioning refers to the process of reinforcing a response that is made in the company of a stimulus. In today’s life we are pulled and pushed by many events in our environment.

Classical conditioning and operant conditioning are both ways that we learn through experience. These forms of conditioning are very different from each other‚ but both can lead to a process known as extinction‚ where a connection or response is broken or weakened (Kowalski & Westen‚ 2011).
