Classical conditioning is best known by Pavlov's dogs. This type of conditioning takes a neutral stimulus and makes a person or animal respond to it. Operant conditioning uses punishment to get a behavior to stop.

Classical conditioning involves forming an association between an involuntary response and a stimulus, while operant conditioning involves forming an association between a voluntary behavior and a consequence. Classical conditioning is passive learning through associations, while operant conditioning is active learning through consequences and rewards. Both types of conditioning aim to modify behavior, but they do so in different ways.
Both classical and operant conditioning are methods of modifying behavior. Classical conditioning focuses on eliciting involuntary behaviors. By pairing a conditioned stimulus with and unconditioned stimulus-response reflex, one can create a link between the conditioned stimulus and the conditioned response. Operant conditioning focuses on strengthening or weakening voluntary behavior by controlling the consequence of behavior. Undesired behavior is followed by punishment, while desired behavior is followed by reward.
Both classical and operant are a type of conditioning. Operant conditioning is where something's behavior is modified through consequences. Classical conditioning is where something learns when two stimuli are repeatedly paired together.
Yes, responses to stimuli can be learned through a process called conditioning. For example, in classical conditioning, an organism can learn to associate a neutral stimulus with a biologically significant stimulus, leading to a learned response. In operant conditioning, behavior is shaped through reinforcement or punishment in response to stimuli.
The natural human conditioning process refers to how individuals learn and adapt to their environment through experiences and interactions. This process involves forming associations between stimuli and responses, which can influence behavior and decision-making. Conditioning can be both classical (associating stimuli with automatic responses) and operant (learning through consequences of actions).
Cognition
This process is known as "conditioning," where repeated exposure to certain stimuli can influence someone's thoughts, feelings, or behaviors. It can be achieved through techniques like classical conditioning, where a neutral stimulus is paired with a significant one to create an association, or through operant conditioning, where the consequences of a behavior determine its likelihood of reoccurring.
Contiguity of stimuli refers to the idea that events that occur close together in time or space are more likely to be associated with each other in the individual's mind. This concept is often used in classical and operant conditioning to explain how associations between stimuli and responses are formed.
