Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In Pavlov's original experiment, he presented a neutral stimulus (a bell) before presenting food, which is an example of forward conditioning. The neutral stimulus (bell) becomes associated with the food, and eventually, the bell alone can elicit the same response as the food (salivation). Simultaneous conditioning is when the neutral stimulus and the unconditioned stimulus (food) are presented at the same time, and backward conditioning is when the food comes before the neutral stimulus, which is not as effective as forward conditioning. "Over the hill conditioning" is not a recognized term in classical conditioning.
