classical conditioning refers to the fundamental learning process which was first described by Ivan Pavlov. It is an event that automatically elicits a response when it is paired with another stimulus event that does not (a neutral stimulus)).After repeated pairings, the neutral stimulus becomes a conditioned stimulus that by itself can elicit the desired response.
Other /More definition:
Classical conditioning refers to a behavioral principle of learning by which a new response is learned through the pairing of two stimuli.
The response that naturally occurs in the presence of one stimulus (food) which begins to occur following the presentation of a second stimulus (bell) when the two stimuli are repeatedly paired.
Other definition:
Classical conditioning refers to the the case whereby a stimulus that elicits an emotional response is repeatedly experienced along with a neutral stimulus that does not, until the neutral stimulus takes on the emotional properties of the first stimulus
Other /More definition:
Classical conditioning refers to the pairing of a stimulus with an unconditioned reflex, such that over time the new stimulus acquires a conditioned response, evoking the same behavior; the process by which an automatic response is conditioned to a new stimulus; process of learning in which two stimuli become associated through similarity or temporal contiguity.
It is a form of learning in which a neutral stimulus becomes associated with a stimulus that naturally elicits a response, thereby making the neutral stimulus itself sufficient to elicit the same response
