My definition of classical conitioning is:
Classical Conditioning is a learning process in which you have an unconditioned stimulus with a conditioned stimulus repeatedly paired together; a response that is at first elicited from the unconditioned stimulus will eventually be able to be elicited by the conditioned stimulus alone.
The examples of classical conditioning I’ve used are the ilfuential impact that television has on the real life, and teaching children to potty train. I’ve also icluded John Watson’s “Little Albert Experiment” and Povlov’s dog experiment.
I’ve also covered the two theories of classical conditioning.

Comments on How does classical conditioning relate to motivation?
Can you post a definition or your understanding of classical conditioning & I will respond with the motivational aspect.
The examples you’ve used are excellent.
With Little Albert he was motivated to not touch the rat because he was conditioned not to. And with Pavlov’s dogs, they were conditioned to salivate at the sound of a bell and motivated to do so when one rang.
