    Classical and Operant Conditioning Name Institutional Affiliation Classical and Operant Conditioning Classical and operant conditioning are two significant concepts essential to behavioural psychology. Classical conditioning was studied by Ivan Pavlov and it involves pairing a previously neutral stimulus with an unconditioned stimulus. The unconditioned stimulus triggers a response naturally and automatically. In classical conditioning, learning refers to involuntary responses that result from experiences that occur before a response. Classical conditioning supports the idea that people develop responses to certain stimuli that are not naturally occurring (Lilienfeld, 2011, p. 204).…

Contracting the condition of diabetes ketoacidosis would naturally cause him to take more intensive care of his health and fear the fatal consequences which would then in turn make diabetes ketoacidosis an unconditioned reaction. At the start of a normal day (the natural stimulus) he has to take measures to prevent death from diabetes ketoacidosis (the unconditioned reaction.)…
