IVAN PAVLOV, THE CLASSICAL CONDITIONING THEORY
Classical conditioning theory of learning developed by Ivan Pavlov is a reflexive or automatic type of learning in which a stimulus acquires the capacity to evoke a response that was originally evoked by another stimulus. The originator and key contributors, were first by Ivan Pavlov in the year (1849-1936), followed by Russian physiologist, in year (1903), and studied on infants by John B. Watson (1878-1958). The key words under this discussion are: stimulus-response, psychic reflexes, unconditioned stimulus, conditioned response,
There are several types of learning in this our contemporary universe. One of the most basic forms is associative learning, i.e., making a new association between events in the environment, and associative form of learning was also categorised into two forms, one is classical conditioning (made famous by Ivan Pavlov’s experiments with dogs) and the other is operant conditioning.
