While studying dog’s responses and salivation, Pavlov discovered the first basic laws of learning and conditioning. He realized that every time a lab assistant brought a bowl of food into the dog’s presents, the dog would salivate. Then he realized they hadn’t intentionally salivated, rather it was an unconditional response. He then realized the dog would associate objects with the food, like the lab assistant (who the dog did not respond to intentionally). In the beginning the assistant was the neutral stimulus (produces no specific response).

Pavlov’s dog experiment is a base for the establishment of classical conditioning theory and its concepts. In classical conditioning, generalization is defined as the process in which a stimulus similar to the original CS produces similar behavior identical
This led Pavlov to pair a bell (as a neutral stimulus) with the experiment to see if the bell could trigger the saliva produced by the dogs, which led the bell to be a critical part of the experiment, which would be rung every time before he gave the dogs their food. Like Pavlov expected, the dogs salivate levels would begin to increase due to the bell ringing. During the experiment, Pavlov divided the group of dogs into two groups in which one group must be conditioned to react to the bell rung before the food was given and the other group should not react at
It was around this time that Pavlov and Watson stated that the main piece of classical conditioning was the repeated pair of conditioned stimulus and unconditioned stimulus. Robert Rescorla stated instead that maybe is where the conditioned stimulus provides the info that allows the organism to predict the appearance of the unconditioned stimulus. Biological predispositions
According to Rathus (2015) classical conditioning is basically learning to identify occurrences or events with other events (p. 125). My aversion with seafood and classical conditioning is associated with the smell of seafood. When the aroma of seafood is around, I will immediately breathe out of my mouth, or flee to another space.

A USC, or an unconditioned stimulus, is a stimulus that triggers a UCR, or unconditioned response (Cherry 2017). The response and the stimulus are called "unconditioned" because it is an unlearned action. A NS, or neutral stimulus, is a stimulus that would give off no response. With a CS, or a conditioned stimulus, there is no response associated with the USC and with the CR, or conditioned response, is the reaction that is triggered by the CS (McLeod 2014). An example of this, that I have observed, is when somebody touches metal on a playground on a hot summer day.
After finishing final exams, Hadiya was hanging out with her friends in a park when she, was shot to death in the 4400 block of South Oakland Avenue in Chicago. There are many other homicides like Hadiya, who have become the victims of gun violence. These innocent deaths in Chicago fuel the debate about gun laws and their use. Gun laws in Chicago are strict than any other city in the U.S but still are not able to stop fatal shots. Chicago, is still found in the flood of gun violence.
Throw ball ((UCS) -> Puts up hands to catch the ball (UCR) Stage 2(learning process): We will now snap our fingers (unconditioned stimulus) immediately before throwing the ball. Snap Fingers (CS) -> Throws Ball (UCS) -> Puts up hands to catch the
Nevertheless, Pavlov 's theory of classical conditioning is somehow extreme, as it reduces
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
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.
I now understand how their theory is used in the everyday ECCE setting, before studying these I
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.
https://www.paperr1. The classical conditioning There are two different types of conditioning. The first one is called “classical conditioning”. Classical conditioning refers to associative learning. Basically it is “making a new association between events in the environment”.
