What is Conditioning?

Conditioning: Is learning an association between an stimulus and a behavior. Some behaviors aren’t learned, but we are born with them (seeing food and salivating). Whereas other responses to stimuli are learned, For example flinching when someone throws something at you. The response of flinching is conditioned, because one has learned that when a stimulus (something being thrown at you) hurts, you unconsciously flinch when something is thrown at you. You have learned the response to flinch.
