Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Pavlovian learning, also known as classical conditioning, occurs when a neutral stimulus (conditioned stimulus) is repeatedly paired with a stimulus that naturally triggers a response (unconditioned stimulus). The unconditioned stimulus elicits an unconditioned response, which is an innate, automatic response. Through repeated pairing, the conditioned stimulus becomes associated with the unconditioned stimulus and begins to elicit a similar response, which is called the conditioned response. Therefore, the conditioned stimulus must be paired with the unconditioned stimulus for classical conditioning to occur.
