With classical conditioning, the doctor's beeper initially had no response in the child, but with time will produce a response.

In other words, it's basically the opposite of Habituation!

Not 100% sure on this one though...anyone else?

classical conditioning is like the dog experiment . in the case of this child . when doctors come around they give him painful injections with time he starts to cry when he see any one that wears a white coat
