Conditioning is the term used to describe the process by which neutral stimulus gains the power to elicit a specific conditioned response. Classical conditioning was developed by Russian physiologist Ivan P. Pavlov where a conditioned stimulus (CS) becomes associated with an untreated unconditioned stimulus (US) in order to produce a conditioned response (CR). The unconditioned stimulus is usually a biologically significant stimulus such as food or pain that elicits an unconditioned response (UR) at first.
