Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Presenting the unconditioned stimulus before the conditioned stimulus is known as the backward conditioning. In this type of conditioning, the association between the two stimuli is weak or non-existent, and therefore, the conditioned response is not easily formed. Classical conditioning involves pairing a neutral stimulus (conditioned stimulus) with an unconditioned stimulus to elicit a response. Operant conditioning involves learning through rewards and punishments. Aversive conditioning involves associating an unpleasant stimulus with an undesired behavior to decrease the frequency of that behavior.
