Abstract
In the beginning, there was the reflex. Pavlov employed the reflex arc as a model in establishing the laws of classical conditioning. Under a variety of conditions, stimuli which had previously had no relation to particular reflexes could be made to trigger or elicit them. This process of classical (or respondent or Pavlovian) conditioning was taken by Pavlov as the basic constituent of all learning—of all adaptive modification of behavior.Keywords
