Classical Conditioning


 Example 1: I had to give my son bottled milk when he was below two years old. He liked drinking milk from the bottle very much. Every time I touch the bottle to prepare milk, he starts screaming. Like he cannot wait for the bottle. People around me many times come to me and ask why I made this boy too hungry, why I didn't give him the milk before he screamed. But, no matter when or how frequently I give him the bottle, he continually screams with excitement, not because of an empty stomach. I understood that from him, and now, I know it is called Classical Conditioning.

 

Example 2: We always buy popcorn and pops before we enter the movie theatre. I tried not to take any food inside the theatre to stop overeating. No matter how much I ate before I entered the theatre, I felt starving when I entered. I felt like I had to eat something to watch the movie. So, again, I had to go out and buy food.
