Through Classical Conditioning I learned the Conditioned Stimulus leads to a Condition Response. When I was little I would play on the basement stairs with bouncy balls. My dad would tell me to get off the stairs before I would get hurt but of course I would never listen.

Of course this scared me as a little kid and caused me to cry and be scared of the stairs. By this I learned that the stairs meant the boogie man and that's scary.
Classical Conditioning has different stages. For instant, before when I saw stairs I would not get scared this is called an Unconditioned Stimuli (something I am familiar with) has a Unconditioned Response. When my dad started telling me that the boogie man was going to eat me while playing on the stairs I would then get scared and cry. This is a Neutral Stimuli (unfamiliar occurrence) with a Unconditioned Stimuli ( something I am familiar with) leads to a Conditioned Response (a change in something that cause a new response). Then every time I saw the stairs I would automatically get scared and thing of the boogie man. This would be considered a Conditioned Stimuli (which would be the boogie man) leads to...
