CLASSICAL CONDITIONING

The use of a neutral stimulus, originally paired with one that invokes a response, to generate a conditioned response

Proposes that all actions, thoughts, and emotions of living things are behaviors that can be treated by behavior modification and changes in the environment

Impact of DeliveryTraditional classroom or workplace, synchronous,

where rewards are immediate, anticipated, via face-to-face interaction
