Classical conditioning was started by Ivan Pavlov, a psychologist. He used dogs to prove that a being can be conditioned to do something, this means that they learn to do something when one things occurs. In his dogs, he gave the dogs meat powder every time a bell was rung. In turn, the dogs would salivate. After repeating this for a few times, the dogs would salivate at the sound of a bell without the meat powder. The dogs, like any other creature, were unintentionally learning to salivate at the sound of a bell.
Classical conditioning is a type of learning related to Pavlov (a psychologist) and one of the common examples of classical conditioning is where a bell is rang and then the dog is given food and this process is repeated several times. After a while, the dog learns to assume that a ringing bell means food is coming and so the dog begins salivating to simply the sound of the bell expecting food. Classical conditioning is defined as a learning process where two stimuli are repeatedly paired and eventually a response originally elicited by the just the second stimuli is elicited beforehand by the first stimuli.

RafaClassical conditioning is a type of learning in which a neutral stimulus becomes associated with a meaningful stimulus, leading to a learned response. The most famous example is Pavlov's experiment with dogs, where they learned to associate the ringing of a bell with the arrival of food.
Classical conditioning is when someone presents a stimulus with another, unrelated stimulus that produces a response, and pretty soon that response to the unrelated stimulus will be present to the first stimulus.
For an example:
There is a dog who is given some food right after a bell rings. The dog, seeing the food, will obviously drool when he sees the food. After a few times when this happens, the bell will sound and the dog will drool, even without him seeing the food.

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.
What is the biggest problem with the classical conditioning explanation of autoshaped behaviors?
The biggest problem with the classical conditioning explanation of autoshaped behaviors is that it may oversimplify the complex factors that contribute to the development of such behaviors. Autoshaping involves a mix of both classical and operant conditioning, and focusing solely on classical conditioning may not fully capture the intricacies of how these behaviors are acquired.
Did Sigmund Freud create classical conditioning while working with his female patient?
No, Sigmund Freud did not create classical conditioning. Classical conditioning was developed by Ivan Pavlov, a Russian psychologist, through his experiments with dogs and saliva secretion. Freud is known for his work in psychoanalysis, which focuses on the unconscious mind and childhood experiences.
