Conditioned response

As a general rule, the higher the species of the animal, the more easily conditioning of response is achieved

• Thus conditioning could be easier for human beings. It is one of the most important methods of learning especially among children.
• In childhood many of the responses of the child are conditioned to particular objects and even the individual becomes an adult, his conditioned response continues.
• The conditioning response, as it is established can also be extinguished.
• In estt. a stimuli is repeated, and in deconditioning the stimuli is not repeated.
• Conditioning, de-conditioning and re-conditioning are governed by the same fundamental principles.
