Examples Of Classical Conditioning

970 Words4 Pages

1. Ever since I can remember, I’ve had a snack as soon as I come home from school. Even if I’ve eaten my lunch an hour before I came home, as soon as I step foot in my house I would become immediately hungry. This shows classical conditioning because when I first starting going to school and before I did my mouth never watered whenever I got home in the afternoon (neutral stimulus). Stepping into my house and smelling the familiar scent of my house and feeling the warmth (unconditional stimulus) triggers my hunger (unconditional response). Now whenever I step foot in my house after school (the new conditioned stimulus) it makes my mouth water and me hungry (conditioned response). My example of classical conditioning was created by Ivan Pavlov on the idea that stimuli that previously didn’t cause a response elects a response after being associated with a meaning. 2. One time at my tennis lessons I began to feel a pain in my wrists. My first thought was to brush it off because if I told my coach, she would make me sit out and rest/ice my wrists, and I didn’t want to stop playing because I was having fun. However, I thought the pain might lead to something serious so I told my coach and, like I thought, she made sit out for a …show more content…

In middle school, I was a very unsociable, quiet, and shy person. I had very little friends that I could actually talk to. When I started to have more stability in my private life in the beginning of freshman year, I began to open up. I started talking to more people, gaining friendships, and hanging out with people. Around this time my grades started to improve along with my personality. My grades made me feel accomplished, smart and special. This is an example of the Abraham Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs and the humanistic perspective. I only began to fulfill my esteem needs (higher grades) when my belongingness and love needs (better and more friendships) were better fulfilled. I began to see myself more positively and see personal

    One of the things that I’ve been classically conditioned to is, the sound on the Insidious movie. This is a conditioned stimulus. It is defined as “an initially neutral stimulus that comes to elicit a conditioned response after being associated with and unconditioned stimulus” according to the book. The sound in the movie plays when something scary is going to happen. The first time I heard it was in the first movie, when the devil was playing the piano in a very freakish way.

    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.

    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

    According to Wood et al. (2011), “conditioned stimulus is a neutral stimulus that comes to elicit reflexive response after being paired with UCS and conditioned response is a learned response elicited by conditioned stimulus” (p. 127-128). In Pavlov’s classical conditioning model depicts how a dog salivate to a bell. In the first stage which is the before conditioning, the food is the unconditioned stimulus that leads to salivation which is the unconditioned response. Also, the bell is the conditioned stimulus that leads to no salivation.

    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.

    Individuals often believe that they are in complete control of their cognitive processes. However, in everyday life, we are surrounded by stimuli which have significant influence over our responses and decision-making. This essay will explore Pavlov’s theory of Classical Conditioning from the early stages of conception and the advancements made by Watson and Rayner in 1920. Consequently, these discoveries revolutionised the field of Psychology, from the use of techniques in behaviour modification to the more recent new scientific field of Psychoneuroimmunology. Classical Conditioning is an associative learning process which is achieved by the introduction of a neutral stimulus (NS) to prompt a conditioned response (CR).

    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.
