Answer 1

a) Classical conditioning

Step-by-step explanation:

Classical conditioning is a type of learning whereby a conditioned stimulus becomes recognized with an unrelated unconditioned stimulus, in order to produce a behavioral response known as a conditioned response.

The process of classical conditioning occurs in three basic stages:

• Before Conditioning,
• After Conditioning,
• Extinction,
• Spontaneous Recovery,
• Stimulus Generalization,
• Stimulus Discrimination,
• Higher-Order Conditioning,
