Which of the following is NOT a salient feature of classical conditioning?

  • A.The conditional response is mechanically produced by pairing the CS with UCS.
  • B.Conditioning occurs because of insight learning.
  • C.There is a continuity of paired presentation of CS and UCS.
  • D.In this kind of conditioning S-S association is learned not S-R association.

Answer: B

The statement that is not a salient feature of classical conditioning is "Conditioning occurs because of insight learning". Classical conditioning is mechanical: the conditional response is produced by pairing the CS with the UCS, the pairing continues, and the learning is a stimulus-stimulus association. Insight is sudden understanding, which is not how conditioning works. In classical conditioning learning is gradual and results from repeated pairing of the neutral stimulus with the unconditioned stimulus, as in Pavlov's work, not from sudden insight.
