Eight textbooks on learning published in English since 1985 were surveyed in order to grasp recent trends in the theories of classical conditioning. Theories and models of classical conditioning were selected from each textbook and frequencies these theories were treated across textbooks were counted. Relative amount of pages allotted for the descriptions of respective theories were also calculated. The Rescorla-Wagner model was by far the most extensively and intensively treated theory of classical conditioning. The SOP, AESOP, and comparator theories, behavior systems approach and the new version of stimulus substitution model seem to have been attaining significance in recent years. This seems to suggest that theories placing emphasis upon processes of behavioral production have been gaining importance lately. Attempts were also made to classify conditioning theories into four categories.
