PAVLOV'S CLASSICAL CONDITIONING THEORY
Ivan Pavlov, born on September 14, 1849, was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1904 for his work on digestive secretions and is known for developing the concept of classical conditioning. This process involves associating a neutral stimulus with an unconditioned stimulus to elicit a conditioned response and has educational implications for language learning and habit formation. However, the limitations of conditioning theory suggest it cannot fully explain complex learning and higher-order cognitive processes.

Automatically triggers a response. • The unconditioned response (UCR): The unlearned response that occurs naturally in response to the unconditioned stimulus. • The conditioned stimulus (CS): A previously neutral stimulus that when paired with an unconditioned stimulus triggers a conditioned response. • The conditioned response (CR): learned response to the previously neutral stimulus TCP PRESENTO-2020

- 11. Summary • To summarize,classical conditioning (later developed by Watson, 1913) involves learning to associate an unconditioned stimulus that already brings about a particular response (i.e., a reflex) with a new (conditioned) stimulus, so that the new stimulus brings about the same response. TCP PRESENTO-2020
- 12. • Pavlov developedsome rather unfriendly technical terms to describe this process. The unconditioned stimulus (or UCS) is the object or event that originally produces the reflexive / natural response.The response to this is called the unconditioned response (or UCR). • The neutral stimulus (NS) is a new stimulus that does not produce a response.Once the neutral stimulus has become associated with the unconditioned stimulus, it becomes a conditioned stimulus (CS). The conditioned response (CR) is the response to the conditioned stimulus. TCP PRESENTO-2020
