That would be Ivan Pavlov- he discovered it while he was doing salivation studies on dogs. It all started when a student of his began to notice that, after a while, the dog started salivating before he was given food (the unconditioned stimulus). Pavlov then started to study this phenomenon, which became known as classical conditioning.

In classical conditioning an unlearned inborn reaction to an unconditional stimulus?

In classical conditioning, an unlearned inborn reaction to an unconditioned stimulus is called an unconditioned response. This natural response occurs automatically without any learning involved.


Who is Ivan Pavlov?

He formulated what we call today classical conditioning. I don't think of it as a theory but a fact because it can be demonstrated experimentally. It was just called conditioning until B.F. Skinner came up with another kind of conditioning called operant conditioning. Conditioning in this sense is learning. Pavlov showed that if you ring a bell every time a dog is fed, the dog will learn to associate the bell with eating an will salivate when the bell was rung even without the presence of food.


In classical conditioning what is the process called in which the animal develops an association between the unconditioned stimulus and the neutral stimulus?

The process is called "acquisition" in classical conditioning. During acquisition, the neutral stimulus becomes a conditioned stimulus that elicits a response similar to the unconditioned stimulus.


When salivation occurs in response to a previously neutral stimulus it is called a?

conditioned response, specifically in the context of classical conditioning. This type of learning involves associating the neutral stimulus with an unconditioned stimulus to elicit the response.


What stimulus elicits a response because of an innate or reflexive connection is called?

If I'm not mistaken, Unconditioned stimulus(UCS) is a term used in classical conditioning, to explain a stimulus that elicits a reflexive response, also termed the Unconditioned response(UCR) without/before any learning or conditioning.

Why classical conditioning is called classical?

Probably because it was the first kind of conditioning to be demonstrated and studied. See Pavlov As eluded to above, classical conditioning is called such because it was the first kind of conditioning to be studied and demonstrated. However, the term "classical" also is used to differentiate this type of conditioning from "Operant Conditioning" which was first demonstrated by B.F. Skinner.

Animals can be trained to perform tricks through a learning process called conditioning?

Yes, Classical/Pavlovian Conditioning or Operant conditioning. However there are boundary conditions and biological constraints that limit the "tricks" - they cannot go against instinctive behaviors.

What was BF skinner theory?

It is called operant conditioning. Learning is called conditioning by psychologists.Before Skinner psychology had one type of learning. It was called classical or Pavlovian conditioning a concept developed by Ivan Pavlov. Pavlov showed that if you ring a bell every time you feed a dog, the dog will begin to salivate when you ring the bell even thought no food is presented. This learning is passive.Skinner developed active learning. He showed that you can train an animal to do almost anything you want by rewarding the activity you want to promote it and punishing (called negative reward) a behavior you want to discourage. To demonstrate this kind of learning he used "Skinner Boxes" which reward a rat when it performs the desired activity, and mazes which reward the rat for figuring out where to go in the maze. It's called operant because the animal has to do something to get rewarded.

Simple association between stimulus and response is called an?

A simple association between a stimulus and a response is called classical conditioning. This process involves learning to associate a neutral stimulus with a biologically potent one, which results in the neutral stimulus producing the same response.


When you learn the red light means stop and green lights mean go you are being trained to use a classical conditioning concept called what?

You are being trained through classical conditioning to associate the red light with stopping (unconditioned response) and the green light with going (unconditioned response). This concept is known as associative learning, where a conditioned stimulus (red or green light) becomes associated with a specific response (stop or go).


Can a behavior be learned?

Yes, behaviors can be learned through a process called conditioning, where associations are made between a behavior and a stimulus. This can be done through both classical conditioning and operant conditioning. Additionally, behaviors can also be learned through observation and imitation, known as social learning.
