Antonio Classical Conditioning

While learning to drive a car, I have experienced the elements of classical conditioning. Conditioned stimulus was a car that rapidly stopped in front of me.

I learned to feel nauseous when I ate broccoli and cheese soup through classical conditioning. It’s an example of classical conditioning because a connection was created between two stimuli, bacteria and broccoli and cheese soup, that resulted in a response, nausea, that was biologically out of my control (text, p. 254). Furthermore, operant conditioning involves an existing behavior being either encouraged or discouraged, and in this case, there was not a preexisting behavior (text, p. 263).

Classical conditioning is a type of learning in which an organism learns to transfer a natural response from one stimulus to another, previously neutral stimulus. Classical conditioning is achieved by manipulating reflexes. Operant conditioning is a type of learning in which the likelihood of a

Classical conditioning is the relationship of an automatic response with a neutral occurrence. There are many main components to classical conditioning. Acquisition which is the learning part of classical conditioning where the conditioned stimulus is paired with the unconditioned stimulus. An unconditioned stimulus is a stimulus that instinctively causes a response. An unconditioned response is the response to the unconditioned stimulus that the researcher will document. A Neutral stimulus is a stimulus that may not get a response initially however after time, develops an instinctive response. A conditioned stimulus is a neutral stimulus after is has taught the response by training based on the conditioning. A conditioned response is the response to the conditioned stimulus. Extinction, spontaneous recovery, generalization, and discrimination are all a part of the classical conditioning process (Nevid,

Classical conditioning is a form of learning that is taught to us through experiences we encounter in our lives. It involves outside stimuli to trigger the condition we have learned to expect. For example, the sound of a lunch bell would trigger our stomach to start growling soon after hearing the bell ring. The expectation of food to come soon after hearing the bell and satisfy our hunger is what makes our stomach growl. This is something learned over time. Expectations can be both good and bad. Sometimes these negative experiences cause us to have certain behaviors when we are reminded of such an event.

Learning is the act of changing an organism’s behavior in response to an experience. Associative learning is when an organism links two events that occur close in time. When an organism learns to make associations, it is being conditioned. There are two types of conditioning. Operant conditioning is when an organism associates an action and the consequence of that action. It results in the organism adapting its behavior to maximize rewards and minimize punishment (Skinner). On the other hand, classical conditioning is a type of learning where an organism associates a certain stimulus and the response to it with a different stimulus. A neutral stimulus is associated with an unconditioned response to an unconditioned

Explain the initial pairing of the banging bar and the rat in terms of learning through classical conditioning.

My example of classical conditioning would be the time I had gotten into a car accident on the highway. Now the accident wasn’t serious, but it left me scared. After the incident, every time I got into a car my body would tense up. I also would feel like I was unable to breathe. As of now I still have miniature panic attacks at the thought of riding in a car or getting on the highway.

When Antonio had the severe flu at seven years old, he ended up going to the hospital. He recovered, but he becomes sick to his stomach every time he passed by the hospital. It is a bright example of classical conditioning because Antonio also experiences PTSD or posttraumatic stress disorder. While hospitalized and sick, Antonio became scared and fearful of dying, therefore when he was back to normal, the hospital brings back a painful memory that results create a conditioned response ("Module 6.2: Classical Conditioning" n.d).

An example of classical conditioning in Ana's case is her negative reaction to the ID tag. When the ID tag is taken out Ana screams and appears to be frightened, this is a conditioned response. Most likely Ana had made a connection between ID tags and the negative experiences of visiting her father in the hospital and rehabilitation centre. Social learning theory states that people learn both new information and new behaviours simply through watching other people (Rosenthal & Zimmerman, 2014). An example of social learning theory in Ana's case study is Chris's attitude towards doctors.

People with phobias do everything possible to avoid a perceived danger, which is much higher in their minds than in real life. It is believed that the model of classical conditioning has served to explain how people developed a phobic response. Through the time, phobias have been in the interest of many psychologists, phobia it is a mechanism of defense before the torment that provokes the internal conflicts. The classical conditioning theory is produced by two stimuli the conditioned and unconditioned stimulus that is paired together repeatedly in the process of learning, with a conditioned behavioural response will, therefore, happen again, but when the unconditioned stimulus is presented alone causing the response to actually happen. This

According to Nicholas Baker, thanks to studies in Sweden, humans who own dogs tend to live longer by decreasing the risk of all causes of death by twenty percent and decreasing the risk of cardiovascular disease by twenty three percent. Not all dogs allowed for this decrease in health risk. There are certain breeds that gave off the effect which were pointers, and retrievers, two breeds that require a large amount of physical activity to maintain a healthy lifestyle. In a Psychological perspective, the involvement of classical conditioning can easily be intertwined with this article. How exactly does this concept of psychology take place? First of all what is classical conditioning? Classical conditioning is a learning procedure where

Classical conditioning says that we learn behaviours by associating the response to the stimulus. An example of this can be found from the work of Ivan Pavlov. In the 1890s Pavlov, a Russian physiologist, carried out some experiments with a dogs. He noticed that when a dog eats food, they salivate: this is an unconditional response to an

Using examples of both classical and operant conditioning, discuss the contributions and limitations of learning theory for the understanding of behaviour (Schacter et al., 2nd Ed, Chapter 6, also see Chapter 1 for historical context)
