Describe how infants have been classically conditioned

What will be an ideal response?


In a training situation, infants have been trained to respond to the sound of a tone by blinking. First, an unconditioned stimulus, a puff of air, is paired with the sound of a tone, a conditioned stimulus. After enough pairings of the two stimuli, the puff of air is removed, but the infants still respond to the tone by blinking their eyes (conditioned response).
