learning demonstrated a form of associative learning - classical conditioning; it can be described as a process of learning where a neutral stimulus (e.g. bell) is paired with an unconditional stimulus (e.g. food) and as a consequence‚ the neutral stimulus becomes conditioned and comes to elicit the same response (e.g. salivation) as the unconditional stimulus even when presented alone (Murphy & Naish‚ 2006).
