Classical conditioning is a type of learning where a neutral stimulus becomes associated with a meaningful stimulus to produce a reflexive response. This was famously demonstrated by Pavlov's experiments with dogs, where he paired the sound of a bell with the presentation of food to make the dogs salivate at the sound of the bell alone.

Involuntary conditioning is associated with classical conditioning, while voluntary conditioning is associated with operant conditioning. Classical conditioning involves learning by association between stimuli, while operant conditioning involves learning by reinforcement or punishment of behaviors.
The biggest problem with the classical conditioning explanation of autoshaped behaviors is that it may oversimplify the complex factors that contribute to the development of such behaviors. Autoshaping involves a mix of both classical and operant conditioning, and focusing solely on classical conditioning may not fully capture the intricacies of how these behaviors are acquired.
Ivan Pavlov is considered the father of classical conditioning. He conducted experiments with dogs that led to the development of the theory of classical conditioning, where a neutral stimulus becomes associated with a reflexive response through repeated pairing.
