Diagram Explaining The Process of Classical Conditioning

Classical conditioning is the process of learning associations between stimuli. Pavlov showed that a neutral stimulus paired with an unconditioned stimulus that elicits a natural response will come to elicit that same response alone after repeated pairings. He demonstrated this by ringing a bell each time he fed dogs, until the bell alone caused the dogs to salivate, showing they had learned to associate the bell with food.

Diagram explaining the process of classical conditioning

Pavlov established that any random external agent (or conditionedstimulus, CS) could be
paired with a normal or unconditioned stimulus (UCS) that would produce a normal
or unconditioned response (UCR); if done often enough, you would eventually get an unconditioned
response when you presented the conditioned stimulus, whereas before you only obtained a neutral
response (NS).

In Pavlov’s case, he would make dogs drool by giving them food at the same time as he rang
a bell; after repeating this process several times, the sound of the bell would produce salivation in
the dogs, even though there was no food for it to make any biological sense. The dogs had been
conditioned to the sound of the bell (he also used electric shocks, whistles, tuning forks,
metronomes and visual stimuli to create this conditioning).
