Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This example is classical conditioning because the dairy calves have learned to associate the sight or sound of their caregiver's vehicle with something positive (likely being fed), leading to an excited response. This is a Pavlovian response where a neutral stimulus (vehicle) becomes associated with an unconditioned stimulus (food) to elicit a conditioned response (excitement/vocalization).
