Nilda Bafia: The first instance of proven classical conditioning was Pavlov getting dogs to salivate to a bell ringing by ringing that bell when they were going to be fed, then ringing it to produce the salivation response even in the absence of food.At my house, the cats come running at the sound of the electric can opener, even if there's no food being opened and it's not dinner time. Sound causes behavior.Anytime I watch the HBO series "Deadwood", as soon as they pull out the bottle and do whiskey shots, I want one, even if I haven't thought of having a drink at all. Visual cue causes thirst.Does that help?...Show more

Hollis Demasters: The most classical example of classica! l conditioning is Pavlovian: everytime you ring a bell (the neutral stimulus), you give the dog food (the strong stimulus) and it salivates (the response). Soon, just the bell produces salivation. That is classical conditioning.This happens in human behavior when you smell food cooking and you salivate, or perhaps even have positive images in your mind. The same is true of sexual response when presented with similar partners.You can do classical conditioning with human behavior and even learning, in a slightly more diluted form, so that giving a reward to a student each time they perform well, there is a tendency for them to associate good performance with the reward.The opposite is negative conditioning where you present a negative stimulus for bad performance. The general, though not universal, view is that negative conditioning does not work as well as positive classical conditioning. There are some, however, who believe otherwise, especially in very narrowly defined cir! cumstances....Show more
