Associative learning is learning that two events occur together. In operant conditioning, a response and its consequence are associated. Classical conditioning, developed by pavlov, is a type of learning in which an organism comes to associate stimuli. A neutral stimulus that signals an unconditioned stimulus begins to produce a response that anticipates and prepares for the unconditioned response. An unconditioned stimulus naturally and automatically triggers a response. An unconditioned response is the unlearned and naturally occurring response to an o o unconditioned stimulus. A conditioned response is a learned response to a previously neutral stimulus. A conditioned stimulus is where a neutral stimulus that, after association with an unconditioned stimulus, comes to trigger a conditioned response.
