Classical Conditioning in Celebrity Endorsements
Advertisers utilize classical conditioning by pairing their products (conditioned stimulus) with celebrities who serve as an unconditioned stimulus, naturally evoking positive feelings (unconditioned response) from the public. This association is vulnerable; if a celebrity's public image is tarnished by a scandal, they cease to be an effective unconditioned stimulus. To prevent the negative associations from transferring to their product, companies often cancel endorsement contracts with the disgraced celebrity.
