classical conditioning

All the subjects took turns in an MRI machine, where the researchers induced auditory hallucinations with classical conditioning, following the example of Pavlov and his dogs.

Notar said the results are "exciting" because "classical conditioning hasn't really been shown definitively in this group of animals before."

Associative learning, which includes classical conditioning, is one of the simplest types of learning and has been studied intensively over the past century.

Associative memories induced by classical conditioning, moreover, are thought to be analogous to traumatic memories that cause PTSD.

In an example of classical conditioning, ferrets trained to associate a signal with a stimulus that causes a blink at regular intervals will blink at the appropriate moment after hearing the signal alone.
