Classical conditioning

Read about classical conditioning and write about it.

This phenomenon has to do with the way human beings learn to behave, and the relationships stimuli keep with the responses associated with them. When a child is rewarded with a toy or hugs after cleaning their room (something that usually is seen by them as difficult or tedious), they are more likely to do it again, due to the fact that it was perceived as an act that would get them a benefit once the task is completed. Then, it is said that the child has created a link between the action and the reward, or, in other words, that conditioning has took place.
There is a recorded experiment, which involves a baby called "Little Albert" and John B. Watson, an american psychologist. Watson would place Albert close to him and then he would show him various objects or animals and perform different actions with the intention of scaring him, but Albert seemed to be unaffected by this. Watson knew that one of the few fears most people have since they are born is the fear to loud noises, and everytime he showed Albert a white rat he made a loud noise, allowing conditioning to happen eventually. After some time, each time Albert would see the white rat, he would cry and scream, demonstrating the mechanism by which conditioning works.
This experiment, according to Watson, explained that some aspects of the behavioral development of children can be shaped as desired by the parents.

Grammatically fine, but strange way to word this. "keeping a relationship" feels like a very active verb, something an animate creature does. It seems to sort of imply that some action is taken to maintain the relationship, that you periodically phone them up or something. Which, clearly, stimuli do not do. I'd prefer "the relationships stimuli have with the responses".

"to take" is an irregular verb and its past participle "taken" is different from the simple past "took".

Runs on a little without a comma somewhere.
