Classical conditioning is a type of learning

A) in which a behavior becomes more likely to recur if followed by a reinforcer or less likely to recur if followed by a punisher.
B) in which we link two or more stimuli.
C) that occurs as an automatic response to some stimulus.
D) that references mental processes.

Classical Conditioning

An acquisition method where two stimuli are frequently paired; the response, at first prompted by the second stimulus, is later prompted by the first stimulus in isolation.

Reinforcer

Any stimulus that, when presented after a behavior, increases the likelihood of that behavior occurring again in the future.

Punisher

A person or factor that applies a penalty or negative consequence in response to an action, often used in the context of behavior modification.
