![]() ![]() The Pavlov theory of learning is built on unconditioned/conditioned stimulus and response. Elements Of The Classical Conditioning Theory ![]() Let’s understand the terminology of the Pavlov theory of learning. Going to work on time, delivering work on time or being polite to your teachers can be a result of classical conditioning where the conditioned response can even be ‘fear’. This is an example of learning through association.Ī lot of processes and procedures in school, home and work can be attributed to the classical conditioning theory. ![]() In school, if a student is made to stand outside the class every time they talk to their friends it will likely change their habit. For instance, employees who are discouraged from sharing their views the first three times may be too afraid to stand up the fourth time. Learning through association is universally applicable. The response is the result of an unconditioned or conditioned stimulus, respectively. The second is where the stimulus is known to produce a specific response. The first is where you have no knowledge of how the stimulus will elicit a response, if at all. The classical conditioning theory operates in stages. But a person who knows or has been conditioned to believe they can get burnt will avoid doing that. Similarly, someone may try to touch a geyser in a hot tub with their bare hands without knowing the dangers. It’s only when they watch something educational or read about predators that they’ll find out. For instance, an infant wouldn’t know that a tiger in the wild can be dangerous. How the subject reacts to a stimulus depends on whether they’ve been conditioned or unconditioned. In the Ivan Pavlov theory, there is a stimulus and a response.
