Classical Conditioning


Classical Conditioning, also named psychology of learning, is one of the three sections of behaviourism, and possibly the most famous one.

Classical Conditioning explains that everything in the human behaviour can be explained by a pattern of stimulus-response.  In addition, individual differences are explained as a disparity on the way of learning.

John Watson believed that you can adjust any person or animal behaviour by conditioning it, this is to say, to induce them to behave in a certain way. This is based in Pavlov's dog experiments.
