Key Concepts

Classical Conditioning

Classical conditioning is a learning process in which a neutral stimulus becomes associated with an unconditioned stimulus that naturally elicits a response. Through repeated pairings, the neutral stimulus eventually triggers a similar response on its own, illustrating how associations between stimuli can form over time.

Stimulus Generalization

Stimulus generalization occurs when a conditioned response is elicited by stimuli that are similar to the original conditioned stimulus. This phenomenon explains why an individual might react in a similar way to various related cues, even if only one specific cue was originally paired with the unconditioned stimulus.
