Understand the basic concept of classical conditioning, which involves learning through association between stimuli.
Identify the key elements in classical conditioning: the neutral stimulus (NS), the unconditioned stimulus (UCS), the unconditioned response (UCR), the conditioned stimulus (CS), and the conditioned response (CR).
Recognize that learning occurs when the neutral stimulus (which initially does not elicit a response) is paired repeatedly with the unconditioned stimulus (which naturally elicits an unconditioned response).
Through repeated pairings, the neutral stimulus becomes a conditioned stimulus that elicits a conditioned response similar to the unconditioned response.
Therefore, the association is specifically between the neutral stimulus and the unconditioned stimulus, which leads to the learned response.
