Praxis 5621 Practice Question

According to Pavlo?s theory, which of the following best describes the repeated use of association with a neutral stimulus to create a response that was originally elicited by another stimulus?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Pavlov's theory focuses on classical conditioning, where a neutral stimulus becomes associated with an unconditioned stimulus to elicit a conditioned response. This process explains how behaviors can be learned through association.

Option A, observational learning, involves learning by watching others and does not rely on stimulus-response associations.

Option B, experiential learning, emphasizes learning through experience rather than conditioned responses.

Option C, operant conditioning, involves behavior modification through reinforcement or punishment, which differs from the associative learning described in Pavlov's work.
