conditioning
conditioning (classical conditioning; Pavlovian conditioning) A form of learning in which an animal comes to associate an unconditional (significant) stimulus (e.g. the smell of food) with a conditional (neutral) stimulus (e.g. a sound), so that the previously conditional stimulus evokes a response that is rarely identical to the unconditional response but that is nevertheless appropriate to the unconditional stimulus. The method for studying this form of conditioning is derived from the work of I. P.
Pavlov. Compare
OPERANT CONDITIONING.
