An Introduction to Classical (Respondent) Conditioning
Major concepts
Before conditioning
During conditioning
After conditioning

Content: The two responses,  unconditioned and conditioned, look the same, but they are elicited by different stimuli  and are therefore given different labels. In the area of classroom learning, classical conditioning primarily influences emotional behavior. Things that make us happy, sad, angry, etc. become associated with neutral stimuli that gain our attention. For example, if a particular academic subject or remembering a particular teacher produces emotional feelings in you, those emotions are probably a result of classical conditioning.
