Classical Conditioning
Classical conditioning is the process that usually occurs through associations between naturally occurring stimuli and environmental stimuli. The two has an effect on one another. For instance, during my childhood, my neighbor was bitten by a black spider. She was hospitalized for a couple of weeks unfortunately she did not survive. I saw that spider and from that day I am scared of spiders. Every time I see a spider I get so scared and even have nightmares due to fear.
