Classical Conditioning
Theory
Classical Conditioning Theory was proposed
by a Russian Physiologist Ivan Pavlov.
According to this theory, behavior is learnt by
a repetitive association between the response
and the stimulus.
The classical conditioning theory is based
upon the assumption that learning is
developed through the interactions with the
environment. Also, the environment shapes
the behavior and internal mental state such as
thoughts, feelings, emotions do not explain
the human behavior.
Classical conditioning is comprised of four elements:
Unconditioned Stimulus (US): Which invariably causes to
react in a way.
Unconditioned Response (UR): Takes place when the US is
presented.
Conditioned Stimulus (CS): The object that does not bring
about the desired response
Conditioned Response (CR): a behavior that an organism
learns to produce, when the CS is presented.

Types of Stimuli and


Responses
Pavlov’s Experiments
Pavlov conducted an experiment on a
dog and measured the amount of saliva
secreted by a dog, with a use of a
surgical procedure, when it is exposed
to different stimulus or object.
At first, when Pavlov presented a piece
of meat (US) to the dog, he noticed a
great amount of salivation (UR)
whereas, in the second time, when he
just rang the bell, he observed there was
no effect of a bell on the dog’s
salivation.
After this, Pavlov rang the bell
accompanied with meat and
noticed the salivation of a dog. He
repeated this process several times,
and finally, one day he just rang the
bell without meat and observed that
dog still salivated to the bell alone
which was originally a neutral
stimulus.
Thus, he found out, that the dog
has become classically conditioned
(CR) to the sound of the bell (CS).
And every time he rings the bell
the dog salivates.
Applications of Classical
Conditioning
Alcoholics may be conditioned (aversively) by reversing
their positive-associations with alcohol.

Through classical conditioning, a drug (plus its


taste) that affects the immune response may cause
the taste of the drug to invoke the immune
response.
