Document Summary
Research supports, or does not support, your hypothesis. Classical conditioning neutral stimulus is repeatedly paired with a stimulus that already triggers a reflexive response. A neutral stimulus is one that doesn"t make you do anything. There are some other stimuli that do make you produce a reflexive response e. g. , a puff of air in your face, or a bright light in your eyes. If you pair the neutral stimulus with the other stimulus enough times, you eventually learn the connection (association) you learn that when the one stimulus comes, the other one is going to come also. Once you have learned this, you start to give the reflexive response to the previously neutral stimulus you are ready , because you have learned the connection. Operant conditioning the operant behavior is controlled by the stimulus that comes after it, a punishment or a reinforcement.
