Classical Conditioning

What is the first thing you think of when you read each of the following words?

 

• Cinnamon
• Summer
• School bell
• Red rose

There are several ways you learn, and one of them is by association. For example, did cinnamon remind you of a type of candy? Did a rose remind you of Valentine’s Day or love? You likely associated these items because the two have been paired together over and over again throughout your life.
