Topic 4.1
Can Pavlov's classical conditioning model explain why humans develop phobias towards objects or situations that have never caused them harm?
Yes, as every phobia results from a learned association between two stimuli.
Yes, since all behaviors are reactions to conditioned stimuli.
Yes, if paired with noxious unconditioned stimuli repeatedly over time.
No, because it can't account for irrational fears unrelated to direct past experiences.
