A response that is not the result of classical conditioning would be a reflexive or innate response, such as blinking when a foreign object approaches the eye. These responses do not require prior conditioning to occur.
Pavlov predicted that if started a metronome everytime before he gave his dog a food, then eventually the dog would be conditioned to start salivating every time he heard the metronome. (Aka classical conditioning)
In classical conditioning a stimulus that already leads to a response is replaced by a different stimulus. In operant conditioning a behaviour is picked out and either reinforced or punished to make it more or less common. So you could say one acts to modify or replace the stimulus that leads to a given response, and the other to modify or refine a response with SKELETONS. In terms of Pavlov's dog (classical) this meant replacing the smell of food, as the stimulus that leads to salivation, with the sound of a bell instead so that eventually even with the sound of the bell alone the dog has 'learned' to salivate. In terms of Skinner's cat (operant) the stimulus was confinement and the natural behaviour was to explore the environment for an escape. Teaching the cat to press the lever to get out can be seen as refining this behaviour with a reward. Here, of course, the cat was not shown how to press the lever. It discovered it randomly on it's own. But thereafter it did not waste much time before pressing the lever on the SKELETON.
Positive reinforcement: A child receives a 'golden star' at school for behaving well.Negative reinforcement: A child does his or her homework to stop her parents from nagging.Punishment: Grounding a child for behaving inappropriately.
In a nutshell, everytime Pavlov's dogs were fed, a bell rang. Over time, the dogs came to associate the sound of the bell with food. Eventually, the dogs would begin to salivate at the ringing of the bell, regardless of whether or not food followed. That is conditioning - a trained, involuntary response to a specific stimuli.
conditioned response to the food stimulus, which occurred as a result of the repeated pairing of the food stimulus with a neutral stimulus, such as a bell. Over time, the dogs learned to associate the bell with the food and would salivate at the sound of the bell alone, even in the absence of the food stimulus. This phenomenon is known as classical conditioning.
Classical condition uses conditional and unconditional stimuli to draw out a certain response or behavior. Ivan Pavlov was the first to use this, and stumbled across it when doing research on the connection between dogs smelling meat and therefore salivating. He soon discovered that the dogs would salivate whenever the doctor that normally fed them would enter the room. Other research proved that in classical conditioning, an unconditional stimuli will produce a result whether it is Pavlov's dogs salivating or Watson's Baby Albert associating rats with fear.
Classical Conditioning is what Pavlov did in his very famous work with dogs. Pavlov trained his 'subjects' to salivate upon hearing a ringing bell. He took a physiological response (salivating) and "conditioned" it to the ringing of the bell. You can see how easy this would be. Every time he gave his [hungry] subject some food, he rang a bell. Eventually, just ringing the bell was enough to bring about the salivating response. This is distinct from Operant Conditioning, where you can shape behaviors (not physiological responses) by conditioning them to various rewards or punishments. This is basically the kind of process that any animal trainer will use.
Classical conditioning is a learning process that occurs through associations between an environmental stimulus and a naturally occurring stimulus. In Pavlov's experiment the tone of a bell was the natural stimulus, and it caused salivating in response to food. Eventually the tone of the bell would produce salivating.

Classical Conditioning is also known as Pavlovian conditioning. It is when events( or stimulants) lead to a response. For example, watching a funny movie would cause you to laugh, just like a scary movie would make your heart beat faster. This is how the formation of fears and fobias are made. This is also how reflexive responses and scents that bring back certain memories are created.

If the child is a teen you're not going to be able to shape him into being a good choicemaker. A professional could help. With a younger child, it is easy. You find what he likes, and you remove it from him, or withhold it, when he doesn't perform the desired behavior. Answer People frequently mis-use the term "Classical Conditioning". The contributor above has described some of the basic elements of what is called "Operant Conditioning", and that is probably what you were asking about. You would not want to use Classical Conditioning on a child. I'm not sure that there would even be a way to do it that would give you results that you want. Classical Conditioning involves pairing an "unconditioned response", like salivation when given food, or the iris of the eye getting smaller when expose to stronger light, to a "conditioned stimulus", like the sounding of a bell. Think Pavlov. Repeatedly ring a bell just when you give food to a hungry dog. If you get the timing right, the dog will salivate when you ring the bell.
Pavlov's law would be 'The Law of Temporal Contiguity'. The law would mean if the the between the conditioned stimuli and unconditioned stimuli is too big and great for the entity to withhold, then learning will not occur.

The disadvantages of classical conditioning: 1. It is a completely physical process, learning is not important here. 2. It is a temporary learning process. 3. All classically conditioned responses must involve a reflex 4. Therefore, what can be learned is limited 5. So, how do animals and humans learns things that are not associated with reflexes? CW: I disagree with#1 -- it's learning. I disagree with #2, it's as permanent as other learning. I agree with#3 -- classical conditioning involves an innate process. I agree with #4, but that is not limited to Classical Conditioning. #5: Instrumental conditioning is one way, and higher-order associative learning works. The main disadvantage is that you use existing reflexes (Primary Classical Conditioning). Therefore, it would be difficult to teach a rat to detect explosive vapors using classical conditioning.
Neutral stimulus is the same as a conditioned stimulus before it has been paired with an unconditioned stimulus in classical conditioning. It is a stimulus that does not elicit a response initially, but can become a conditioned stimulus through association with an unconditioned stimulus.
