Classical conditioning is the process of conditioning a desired behavioural response to a specific stimulus. The classic example is the story of Pavlov’s dog. Everytime just before Pavlov feed his dog he rang a bell, after doing this for a couple of weeks Pavlov would ring the bell without giving his dog food and he observed that his dog would salivate as he was anticipating the food. This concept is used in behavioural therapy to alter people’s maladaptive behaviours.
