Abstract
Classical conditioning was first studied extensively by I. P. Pavlov, who placed it firmly in the reflex tradition codified and summarized by C. S. Sherrington (Chapter 3). These two men set the study of conditioning on a trajectory that eventually led to the split between Pavlov's classical and Skinner's operant conditioning. Chapter 19 deals with this split. In this chapter, I will describe reflex-type theoretical models for conditioning – what might be called the classical conditioning models. One of these, the Rescorla–Wagner (R–W) model, has been hugely influential. The number and complexity of proposed conditioning models has increased greatly since the original R–W chapter in 1972. I will try just to extract the essentials.
