The essence of learning is in understanding associations, such as between the sound of water and being able to quench one's thirst. In ___, an initially neutral stimulus comes to elicit a response because it has been repeatedly paired with another stimulus that automatically produces that response. In other words, you learn that one stimulus ___ another stimulus.

Explanation:

This question lacks options, options are:

a) classical conditioning; predicts  

b) operant conditioning; causes  

c) classical conditioning; causes  

d) operant conditioning; predicts

The correct answer is a) classical conditioning; predicts  

The essence of learning is in understanding associations, such as between the sound of water and being able to quench one's thirst. In classical conditioning, an initially neutral stimulus comes to elicit a response because it has been repeatedly paired with another stimulus that automatically produces that response. In other words, you learn that one stimulus predicts  another stimulus.

Explanation:

Classical conditioning is a learning process by which a person learns to respond to a stimulus that previously did not respond by association with another stimulus that produced that response, that is, in classical conditioning, the learning process occurs through association of an initial stimulus that elicits in the body a regular and measurable (predictable) response, with a neutral, non-responsive event prior to conditioning. Classical conditioning involves forming an association between two stimuli that results in a learned response.
