  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-002102",
  "term": "Classical conditioning",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A type of associative learning where a neutral stimulus becomes associated with a naturally occurring stimulus, eventually eliciting a conditioned response similar to the natural response. This process involves pairing an unconditioned stimulus, which naturally triggers a response, with a conditioned stimulus. Ivan Pavlov's experiments with dogs salivating to a bell are a classic example.",
