Pavlov's Classical Conditioning: Learning through stimulus
The concept of behaviorism that I have chosen is Ivan Pavlov's Classical Conditioning. Classical conditioning refers to the learning process that requires a neutral stimulus to be repeatedly paired with a stimulus that naturally receives a response, until the stimulus alone can trigger the same response. A particular example is when someone surprised you in the dark. The neutral stimulus is the dark and the stimulus is someone that surprises you or scares you multiple times. Once you enter another dark room, you will experience a feeling that there are possibilities that someone might do the same thing. You learned that there is a possibility that someone might appear to scare or surprise you.
