The intense noise created fear (better known as a Phobia) within the child, because the child thought he was in danger but wasn’t. The child unconditioned

Classical conditioning is a learning procedure that happens through associations between a naturally occurring stimulus and an environmental stimulus. It was discovered by Ivan Pavlov who was a Russian physiologist. Classical conditioning is based on behaviorism which states that learning happens through interactions with the environment. Classical conditioning is used to decrease or increase a behavior. This theory occurs by placing a neutral signal before a naturally occurring reflex. Additionally

opportunity to yet validate their learning through behavior (Olson, 2013). These changes in learning occur through the experience one gains from their environment. These experiences lead to the potential for behavior modification. Classical conditioning is a form of learning associated with psychologist Ivan Pavlov’s theory of learning. To test this theory
