Question

The central principle of classical conditioning is that ________ after repeated pairings with a stimulus that a. naturally causes a response, a neutral stimulus will cause a similar response. b. we repeat those actions that we see others engage in. c. the consequences of behavior influence its likelihood of being repeated. d. the interaction of genetics and social factors best explains human behavior.

Answer 1

Option A , a neutral stimulus will cause a similar response

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the Classical conditioning definition, when a neutral stimulus is associated with a behaviour producing natural stimulus, learning occur.

For example - When the ring of a bell is associated with the food smell, a dog starts salvation. Now even when the food is not associated with ringing of bell, a dog salivates on listening the ring of the bell.

Hence, option A is correct
