Classical conditioning involves learning a new association between a previously neutral stimulus and a stimulus that naturally and automatically triggers a reflexive response. This concept was famously demonstrated by Ivan Pavlov through his experiments with dogs, where he showed how a neutral stimulus (like a bell) could be associated with an unconditioned stimulus (like food) to produce a conditioned response (salivation).
