Preferred term

classical conditioning  

Definition

  • Classical conditioning (also named Pavlovian conditioning, for Ivan Pavlov, the researcher who pioneered the topic) is considered, along with habituation, to be a fundamental form of learning. The term conditioning is used because classical, along with instrumental and operant, is considered a simpler and more basic form of learning.
