Classical Conditioning

303 Words2 Pages

Classical conditioning is conditioning a reflex to occur to when an unrelated, or neutral, stimulus is applied. This is often done through repetition of a single action or set of actions over a period of time. Classical conditioning consists of the unconditioned stimulus (UCS), unconditioned response (UCR), conditioned stimulus (CS), neutral stimulus (NS) and the conditioned response (CS). As a personal example of this I will bring up my cat, Evie. When I arrive home and shut the car door Evie, from wherever she may be, runs not to me but to the front door and becomes excited, the same way she reacts when she actually sees/receives food. She reacts like this because everyday for the past three years I’ve feed her at the same time, when I arrived

    Chapter 6 Question E In classical conditioning, whether we are human beings or animals, our first learning is acquisition. Classical conditioning happens upon the appearance of 2 stimuli put together, this occurs effortlessly and unconsciously. Acquisition is the link of the unconditional stimulus and a conditioned stimulus. US, stimulus that produces a reply without previous knowledge.

    1.Classical conditioning is a learning process first discovered by the Russian physiologist Ivan Petrovich Pavlov in the early 1900s. The theory of Classical Conditioning deals with the learning process leading us to gain a new behavior via the process of association. Internal mental thoughts and brain mechanisms play a huge role in associative learning. Classical Conditioning works by pairing involuntary response with stimulus. After which, unconditioned response becomes conditioned response.

    In this case, I am attempting to decrease or stop my brothers’ behavior. On the other hand, classical conditioning involves an outcome where the subject is conditioned to elicit an involuntary response to a neutral stimulus, while there was an initial response present to an unconditioned stimulus. My brother is presenting a voluntary behavior that I am trying to decrease; therefore, operant conditioning is the most appropriate method to

    The major key findings that were discovered in this study include the idea that it is possible that after being conditioned to react to a certain stimulus, the subject could possibly begin to generalize different objects that may cause the subject to react the same way towards the generalized stimuli as the subject did to the original stimulus. Another finding is that classical conditioning is something that could potentially have a long lasting effect on someone, especially if the subject formed a generalization to the original stimulus. The researchers felt that because of the lack of experimental evidence provided about the subject before this experiment prompted them to research it

    My coach for soccer has taught me how to play soccer from a young age and in order for my coach to be able to coach me successfully the coach would need a ball and soccer training methods. My version of playing soccer was just passing a ball and the soccer ball was the object I made an association with and when I was starting to take soccer seriously it meant I would need a coach and I did not know how a coach was and how it would enable me to be able to play soccer and it classical conditioning terms it would be called unconditioned association. The unconditioned stimuli (UCS), which is the coach, is going to enable me to emit a response which is to be able to play soccer and the behaviour I emit is known as the unconditioned response (UCR) because the coach has not yet taught me how to play soccer. When the coach starts coaching me to become a good soccer player, the coach moves from being the unconditioned stimulus (UCS) to the neutral stimulus (NS), the coach becomes the conditioned stimulus (CS) because she has been training me on a regular basis which results in my unconditioned response (UCR) becoming the conditioned response (CR) which is to play soccer the proper way by; passing, dribbling, defending and shooting.

    This essay hopes to shed light on the development of phobias with emphasis on classical conditioning principles. This essay will also describe how systematic desensitisation as an exposure therapy can be used to overcome fears and phobias. Phobias in their most basic forms are the results of a traumatic experience or a learned conditioned reaction from key figures in a person's formative years. Classical Conditioning is crucial when discussing phobias as it shows us why a person may react to a contextually unrelated or related object. At its simplest, Classical Conditioning is "A type of learning in which one learns to link two or more stimuli and anticipate events", it allows us to map out a person's responses and thus form links between

    The basic process of classic conditioning happens in three stages; first there must be a conditioned stimulus, the stimulus will then cause a conditioned response. Then when an unconditioned stimulus is added in the learning process, the same response still occurs. The example we will be using here is throwing a ball to someone. Stage 1 (before learning): When the ball is thrown (unconditioned stimulus), it causes a natural reflex response (unconditioned response) to put up your hands to catch it.

    INTRODUCTION Have you ever thought on how people explain about behaviour? How do we know when learning process has occurred? Learning is permanent change that happened in the way of your behaviour acts, arises from experience one’s had gone through. This kind of learning and experience are beneficial for us to adapt with new environment or surrounding (Surbhi, 2018). The most simple form of learning is conditioning which is divided into two categories which are operant conditioning and classical conditioning.

    Link to reality: Both Skinner’s theory of operant conditioning and Pavlov’s theory of classical conditioning can be used every day in an ECCE setting. Today many school systems and childhood authorities follow Skinner’s and Pavlov’s theory by using the approach of positive reinforcement. This encourages good behaviour in the child making the behaviour more likely to be repeated again as they are rewarded and praised for their efforts in reading, writing and general learning. It is important that children’s efforts in a learning setting are rewarded as this will encourage the child to perform to the best of their ability.

    This school of thought suggests that only observable behaviors should be studied, since internal states such as cognitions, emotions and moods are too subjective. There are two major types of conditioning: 1. Classical conditioning is a technique used in behavioral training in which a naturally occurring stimulus is paired with a response. Next, a previously neutral stimulus is paired with the naturally occurring stimulus.

    Watson proposed that the process of classical conditioning (based on Pavlov’s observations) was able to explain all aspects of human psychology. The theory of classical conditioning involves learning a new behavior through a process of association. Meaning that two stimuli are linked together to create a newly learned response. There are three stages of classical conditioning, before conditioning, during conditioning and after conditioning (Mc Leod, 2014). Watson’s theory also involved the conditioning of emotions.

    Classical conditioning is definitely used by politicians, advertisers, and moviemakers. “Classical conditioning is a type of learning in which a neutral stimulus comes to elicit a response after being paired with a stimulus that naturally brings about a response.” (pg.172) This means that politicians have to influence us in order for us to agree with their ideas, basically manipulating our minds without us knowing. Younger children are continuously growing so it is easier for advertisers and moviemakers to manipulate and interest them in their product.

    Classical conditioning and operant conditioning are two of the most common techniques when trying to persuade or influencing any complex organism. Classical conditioning is the process of using stimuli to create a response. There are many examples of classical conditioning but advertising has the most adverse effect on humans. For example: a car company wants to sell a their product to males and they use attractive women to do so. The women are the unconditioned stimulus and the feelings men get when they see the women is the unconditioned response.
