Correct Answer: (i) Stimulus and Response

Explanation (2 Marks - Exam Oriented):

Classical behaviourists (Pavlov, Watson, Thorndike) view learning as S-R association.

  • Learning occurs when a connection is formed between a Stimulus (S) - any environmental cue/signal, and a Response (R) - the behaviour it elicits.
  • Based on conditioning and reinforcement, not cognitive processes like modelling (Bandura - social learning) or self-efficacy.
  • Example: Pavlov's dog - Bell (Stimulus) → Salivation (Response).

Hence (ii) is reverse, (iii) & (iv) belong to Social Cognitive Theory.

Conclusion: Classical conditioning = Stimulus → Response learning.
