Classical Conditioning Theory ( Ivan Pavlov) Classical conditioning is a type of learning that had a major influence on the school of thought in psychology known as behaviorism. Discovered by Russian physiologist Ivan Pavlov, classical conditioning is a learning process that occurs through associations between an environmental stimulus and a naturally occurring stimulus. Behaviorism is based on the assumption that learning occurs through interactions with the environment. Two other assumptions

11, 2012 Dr. Rick Bazant Classical Conditioning Ivan Pavlov is the father of classical conditioning, a learning theory that is also called Pavlovian conditioning. Pavlov was a Russian physiologist centered in experimental science, in which his experiments were novel and innovative. Pavlov and his team accidently discovered classical conditioning while studying the functions of the digestive system in dogs. While conducting studies Pavlov and his team noticed increased salivation for objects

motivation started with Ivan Petrovich Pavlov, the Russian physiologist, psychologist, and physician, studied how dogs salivated when shown food they knew to be appetizing (Pavlov, I.P. 1927). First he fed the dogs to ensure that they had the taste of the dog food in their throat. So that when they smell the food in the air their brains will motivate the rest of the body that is a good smell. So now the dogs are motivated to taste the food so they salivate until they get the food. Pavlov went onto study

Sigmund Freud who is often the most well-known person in the field of Psychology introduced the psychoanalytical theory. Freud believed that our subconscious and ego controlled much of our behavior. The learning theory, that was introduced, by Ivan Pavlov, B.F. Skinner, and John B. Watson, is that theory focuses on the fact that we learn by observing and behavior. Conditioning behavior was a large part of this theory in that a person can be taught certain behaviors through

be developed through classical conditioning. Classical conditioning was the first type of learning to be studied systematically (Kowalski & Westen, 2011). Ivan Pavlov, who was a Russian phycologist, started studies of the so called classical conditioning from studies with dogs and the stimulations that caused dogs to salivate. Pavlov discovered that when food was present with

Provide positive reinforcement whenever someone perform a desired behaviour, and soon they will learn to perform the behaviour on their own. (Ivan Pavlov: 1891) The term behaviorism refers to the school of psychology founded by John B. Watson based on the belief that behaviors can be measured, trained, and changed. Behaviorism was established with the publication of Watson's classic paper "Psychology

person to person. John B. Watson and B.F Skinner originated the behaviorist approaches to learning. Watson thought that human behavior resulted from specific stimuli and certain responses. His view of learning was based upon the studies of Ivan Pavlov (1849- 1936). Skinner developed the term operant conditioning he believed in satisfying the responses are conditioned while unsatisfying ones are not. The

largely defined as "the study of behavior and mental processes". The eleven founders of psychology all had great ideas and theories that developed throughout the years. John Watson was inspired by Ivan Pavlov’s work but instead of studying the digestive and blood circulation system like Ivan Pavlov he was more intrigued by the idea of behaviorism. Watson first began the study on animals and later on children. He discovered that children and animals will act a certain way depending on the situation
