Le conditionnement répondant consiste en l'association en contiguïté de deux stimuli.

CONT

Dans le conditionnement classique, un stimulus inefficace, le stimulus conditionnel, est associé plusieurs fois de suite à un stimulus très efficace, le stimulus inconditionnel. Initialement le stimulus conditionnel ne produit qu'une réaction faible, voire nulle, tandis que le stimulus inconditionnel déclenche une réaction plus intense ou une réaction totalement nouvelle.
