What do we call the learning that occurs when a stimulus eliciting a response is paired with another stimulus that initially does not elicit a response on its own but, over time, also causes a similar response because of its association with the first stimulus?
A) operant conditioning
B) learned pairing phenomenon
C) instrumental conditioning
D) classical conditioning
Classical Conditioning
An educational method involving the consistent pairing of two stimuli, where a reaction initially triggered by the second stimulus ultimately becomes triggered by the first stimulus alone.
Stimulus Eliciting
A process by which a specific stimulus provokes a response or reaction in an organism or system.
Response Paired
A concept in conditioning where a specific stimulus is repeatedly and consistently followed by a particular response.

Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
Classical conditioning is the process where a neutral stimulus becomes associated with a meaningful stimulus and acquires the capacity to elicit a similar response. This was famously demonstrated by Ivan Pavlov through his experiments with dogs, where a neutral stimulus (a bell) was paired with the presentation of food, eventually leading the bell alone to elicit salivation.
