Which learning principle is associated with Pavlov's theory of classical conditioning?

Stimulus-response association

The correct answer is Option 4: Stimulus-response association

Classical conditioning, developed by Ivan Pavlov, is based on the principle of stimulus-response association. In this learning process:

• A neutral stimulus (e.g., a bell) becomes associated with an unconditioned stimulus (e.g., food)

• Eventually, the neutral stimulus alone elicits the conditioned response (e.g., salivation)

This forms a direct association between a stimulus and a response, which is the core idea behind classical conditioning.
