Types of Conditioning
- Associative learning occurring due to repeated pairing of two events is called classical conditioning.
Test your knowledge on classical conditioning and the concept of contiguity association. Assess your understanding of stimuli, responses, conditioned and unconditioned stimuli, and the process of learning through repeated pairing. Explore the relationship between events and behaviors in this quiz.
