In reality, people do not respond exactly like Pavlov's dogs. There are, however, numerous real-world applications for
classical conditioning. For example, many dog trainers use classical conditioning techniques to help people train their
pets.
These techniques are also useful for helping people cope with phobias or anxiety problems. Therapists might, for
example, repeatedly pair something that provokes anxiety with relaxation techniques in order to create an association.
Teachers can apply classical conditioning in the class by creating a positive classroom environment to help students
overcome anxiety or fear. Pairing an anxiety-provoking situation, such as performing in front of a group, with pleasant
surroundings helps the student learn new associations. Instead of feeling anxious and tense in these situations, the child
will learn to stay relaxed and calm.
