Psychologist John Watson developed what would become known as ‘classical conditioning’. This is where an ‘unconditional stimulus’ elicits a response. When this is paired with a conditional stimulus enough times, it obtains an automatic response.
Watson used his knowledge to make people feel good when they saw certain products. For example, a sexy women photographed with a beautiful car is designed to elicit a certain response in the heart of the viewer.
