Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Classical conditioning is a type of learning in which an organism comes to associate stimuli, leading to a conditioned response. In the case of fear, a fearful response can become associated with a particular stimulus through repeated pairings, such as a loud noise with a shock. This process can lead to the acquisition of fear responses towards previously neutral stimuli, which may have implications for anxiety disorders and phobias. Temporary, primary, and secondary conditioning are not recognized terms in the field of psychology.
