This is part of my homework for ap psych and I’ve been searching the web for an answer, but I cannot find one. I need to present a completely and clearly connection between classical conditioning and motivation. In essence Classical Conditioning’s significance to motivation.

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.
