4.1.1 - Classical conditioning

4.1.1 The main features of classical conditioning (Pavlovian), including unconditioned stimulus (UCS); unconditioned response (UCR); conditioned stimulus (CS); neutral stimulus (NS); conditioned response (CR); extinction, spontaneous recovery and stimulus generalisation and distribution.; Operant conditioning.

Use - classical conditioning to connect the rule to the data and decision in the question.

This matters because - classical conditioning determines what can be inferred or chosen; begin with the stated conditions and keep the conclusion tied to the evidence.

Example: apply - classical conditioning to one small, clearly defined case, show the key step or comparison, and explain the result in words.

Boundary: - Classical conditioning is not a universal recommendation. Check the syllabus scope, assumptions, units and the limits of the evidence before generalising.
