difference between classical conditioning and pseudo-conditioning

[soccerfan01]

Before anyone says "google it", I already did and found horrible examples. Can someone please give me a decent well thought example so I can clearly distinguish the two?

Let us consider Classical Conditioning.....Every time the front door to my house opens, Lola the cat stops everything and comes to greet me as I enter. Over time, she associates any noise at the front door to me and stops everything. Let us consider Pseudo Classical.....You are trying to condition your roommate to blink every time a picture of Bob is shown. With several trials, you show a photo of Tom ...and your roommate blinks.The response is the result of sensitization.....instead of conditioning. I hope this helps.
