Answer:
The best response to the question: Classical conditioning is a type of learning in which voluntary responses come to be controlled by their consequences, would be: A stimulus acquires the capacity to evoke a response that was originally evoked by another stimulus. This is the statement that best describes what classical conditioning is.
Explanation:
Classical conditioning, also known as Pavlovian conditioning, in honor of its first proponent, Ivan Pavlov is precisely a learning and teaching technique in which responses can be conditioned to appear, and be controlled, after the person, or animal, has been exposed to a set of stimulus. In this style of learning, and conditioning, the subject to be conditioned is first exposed to a situation in which an uncontrolled stimuli evokes an uncontrolled response. Then the subject is further exposed to both the uncontrolled stimuli and a neutral stimuli and both are connected to the same response. As the association of both stimuli forms, and elicits a response, the subject learns to react when the earlier neutral stimuli appears (now known as the conditioned stimuli) and the desired response is now conditioned. Thus, a stimulus (the neutral) acquires the capacity to evoke a response which was initially evoked by the unconditioned stimuli.
