Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Classical conditioning involves the learning of reflexive responses, also known as reflexes, by associating an unconditioned stimulus with a previously neutral stimulus (which becomes the conditioned stimulus). Therefore, reflexes can be learned through classical conditioning. Option A is incorrect because an unconditioned stimulus can elicit a response even before conditioning. Option B is incorrect because reflexes can be unlearned or modified through various forms of learning. Option C is incorrect because an unconditioned response is an automatic or reflexive response to an unconditioned stimulus, which is not learned but rather naturally occurs.
