After a night of drinking, you may be sick. You then associate tequila with being sick and therefore, when you smell/taste/see tequila, you feel sick.
UCS : Drinking
UCR : Being sick
CS : Seeing tequila
CR : Feeling/being sick

EzraAn example of classical conditioning is Pavlov's experiment with dogs, where he paired the sound of a bell with the presentation of food. Over time, the dogs learned to associate the sound of the bell with the food and would salivate in response to the bell even when no food was presented.
Your romantic partner always uses the same shampoo. Soon, the smell of that shampoo makes you feel happy! This is a perfect example of Classical Conditioning.
Classical conditioning is a form of associative learning, which results in a certain unconscious response. Most phobias are a result of unintentional classical conditioning, and, therefore, are examples of classical conditioning. The most famous example of classical conditioning would be Pavlov's dogs. By ringing a bell (neutral stimulus) before presenting food (unconditioned stimulus), the dogs subconsciously associated the two, and salivated (conditioned response) at the mere sound of a bell (conditioned stimulus). Another famous experiment is Watson's "Little Albert" experiment. A small child was presented with an object, such as a stuffed animal, and then heard a loud, clashing noise (something it was naturally afraid of). The small child, after continued exposure to this training, became fearful of the stuffed animals alone.
An example you can try:
Get a friend, and stand near the light switch. When you turn out lights, pupils get big to take in all the available light. So, clap, then shut off the lights.
repeat for a few minutes.
Then clap, but leave the lights on, and if you watch your friends pupils, they should get real big.
Another is Pavlov's dogs, which began salivating (watering mouths) whenever a bell was rung because whenever that bell rang they got food, so then their body reacted every time it rang, as if food was coming.
Pavlov's dogs is the most common example of classical conditioning. A neutral stimulus ("NS" e.g., a bell) precedes an unconditioned stimulus ("UCS" e.g. presentation of food) to yield an unconditioned (natural) response ("UCR" e.g. salivation).
Over time and after "learning" occurs, the formerly neutral stimulus becomes the conditioned stimulus ("CS") to yield a conditioned response ("CR").
Before learning:
NS + UCS -> UCR
Bell + Food -> Salivation
After learning:
CS -> CR
Bell -> Salivation

What is a common name for Pavlovian conditioning?
Classical conditioning.
Conditioning that has a natural and automatic stimulus response situation is known as what?
Classical conditioning.
Is involuntary and voluntary a classical or operant conditioning?
Involuntary conditioning is associated with classical conditioning, while voluntary conditioning is associated with operant conditioning. Classical conditioning involves learning by association between stimuli, while operant conditioning involves learning by reinforcement or punishment of behaviors.
Pavlov's dog learned to respong to a bell as if the bell were food. this is an example of?
Classical conditioning - where a neutral stimulus (bell) becomes associated with a meaningful stimulus (food) through repeated pairings, leading to a learned response. In this case, the dog's salivating to the bell is a conditioned response.
What is conditioning in psychology?
Conditioning in psychology refers to the process of learning through association. There are two main types: classical conditioning, where a neutral stimulus becomes associated with a reflexive response, and operant conditioning, where behaviors are strengthened or weakened by consequences. Conditioning plays a key role in understanding how behavior is acquired and modified.
