Facts about Pavlovian Conditioning
- 05
Spontaneous recovery in Pavlovian conditioning refers to the reappearance of a conditioned response after a rest period following extinction.
- 04
Second-order conditioning in Pavlovian conditioning allows a conditioned stimulus to reinforce a new neutral stimulus, extending learning without the original unconditioned stimulus.
- 03
Extinction in Pavlovian conditioning occurs when the conditioned stimulus is repeatedly presented without the unconditioned stimulus, gradually weakening the conditioned response.
- 02
The process involves three key elements: a neutral stimulus, an unconditioned stimulus, and the conditioned response that emerges after repeated pairing.

Ivan Pavlov developed Pavlovian conditioning while studying dog digestion, discovering that neutral stimuli paired with food could trigger salivation reflexively.
