Pavlov and Watson Conditioning Concepts

The video explores the development of behaviorism, starting with Pavlov's classical conditioning experiments with dogs, where he discovered that a neutral stimulus could elicit a conditioned response. It then discusses John Watson's work with Little Albert, demonstrating fear conditioning. Finally, it covers B.F. Skinner's operant conditioning, which involves reinforcement and punishment to modify voluntary behavior.
