conditioning to occur, the organism must actively respond (i.e. do things).
2. Since learning involves the conditioning of specific movements, instruction must
present
very specific tasks.
3. Exposure to many variations in stimulus patterns is desirable in order to produce a
generalized response.
4. The last response in a learning situation should be correct since it is the one that will
be
associated
What is Classical Conditioning ( Ivan Pavlov)? - ANSWER-Role antecedents play in
learned behaviour
, Conditioning is usually done by pairing the two stimuli
(ie: Dog salivating when hearing a bell as it associated it with food)

- Extinction - fading of stimulous
- Counter conditioning - coupled countered stimulous
