Of course! A famous example is Pavlov's dogs, where the sound of a bell was paired with food, causing the dogs to salivate at the sound alone.

What are the key components of classical conditioning?

The key components include the unconditioned stimulus (US), unconditioned response (UR), conditioned stimulus (CS), and conditioned response (CR).

How is classical conditioning different from operant conditioning?
