Q1. What is the theory of classical conditioning? Explain using an example.
Is an automatic response that builds up through repeated exposure and reinforcement. The unconditioned stimulus occurs naturally in response to given circumstances, the conditioned stimulus becomes associated with a particular event or feeling as a result of repetition, and the conditioned response is a response to the conditioned stimulus. The strategic applications of classical conditioning to consumer behavior are associative learning, the need for repetition, stimulus generalization, and stimulus discrimination.

The dog is conditioned to produce saliva every time the bell rings (stimuli) because he expects food after the bell,the moment the bell rings the dog’s mouth starts watering .
