Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ivan Pavlov is widely considered to be the father of the study of learning, particularly classical conditioning where the pairing of a neutral stimulus with a response-producing stimulus leads to a learned response. While Wundt and James made contributions to psychology, they did not pioneer the study of learning. Freud's focus was on the subconscious mind and psychoanalysis.
