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