We associate the name__ most closely with classical conditioning. (A) period E. L. Thorndike (B) B. F. Skinner (C) Ivan Pavlov. (D) Albert Bandura

Pavlov is the man behind the bell! His famous experiments with dogs demonstrated that they could be conditioned to salivate at the sound of a bell, which they learned to associate with food. This groundbreaking work laid the foundation for classical conditioning and revealed how learning can be a result of associative processes. In our everyday lives, classical conditioning can be observed often, from a song that reminds you of a special event to a fear response triggered by a previous negative experience. Understanding these associations can help us create positive habits or address unwanted responses in a fun and practical way!
