In psychology, what is the term used to describe the mechanism by which a stimulus-response relationship can lead to learning?

  1. Conditioning

  2. Stimulation

  3. Reinforcement

  4. Habituation

The correct answer is: Conditioning

Conditioning is the process by which an individual learns to associate a stimulus with a specific response, leading to a change in behavior. Stimulation refers to the act of providing sensory input or triggering a response in an individual. Reinforcement is a consequence that increases the likelihood of a behavior being repeated. Habituation is a decrease in response to a repeated stimulus. While all of these processes can contribute to learning, conditioning specifically describes the relationship between stimulus and response in the learning process.
