Classical conditioning
Classical Conditioning (also Pavlovian or Respondent Conditioning) is a form of
associative learning that was first demonstrated by
Ivan Pavlov. The typical procedure for inducing classical conditioning involves presentations of a neutral
stimulus along with a stimulus of some significance. The neutral stimulus could be any event that does not result in an overt behavioral response from the organism under investigation. Pavlov referred to this as a Conditioned Stimulus (CS). Conversely, presentation of the significant stimulus necessarily evokes an innate, often reflexive, response. Pavlov called these the Unconditioned Stimulus (US) and Unconditioned Response (UR), respectively. If the CS and the US are repeatedly paired, eventually the two stimuli become associated and the organism begins to produce a behavioral response to the CS. Pavlov called this the Conditioned Response (CR). Classical conditioning has been demonstrated in numerous species using a variety of methodologies. Popular forms of classical conditioning that are used to study neural structures and functions that underlie learning and memory include
Fear conditioning,
Eyeblink conditioning, and Classical Conditioning of
Aplysia gill and siphon withdrawal reflex.
