Pavlov's conditioning is an example of:

  • A Innate behavior present from birth, occurring without any prior learning involved
  • B Classical conditioning (associating a neutral stimulus with an unconditioned stimulus)
  • C Habituation, a decreased response that develops to a repeated harmless stimulus
  • D Operant conditioning, where behavior is gradually shaped by reward or punishment

Correct answer: B. Classical conditioning (associating a neutral stimulus with an unconditioned stimulus)

Explanation: Pavlov's dog experiment: pairing a bell (neutral stimulus) with food (unconditioned stimulus) caused the dog to salivate to the bell alone: classical conditioning.

Concept context

Brain, spinal cord, neurons, reflex arcs, and sense organs.
