Part I: Applications of Classical Conditioning
Treatment of Dissociative Identity Disorder The treatment of the dissociative identity disorder follows a consistent observance of psychological requirements. It is important to understand that therapists have the tendency to clearly understand the best practices regarding medication. Classical conditioning is one of the methods that can be used to ensure that dissociative identity disorder patients get their treatment. Dissociative identity disorder patients have the tendency to experience gaps in their memory Because the alters alternate in controlling the patient 's consciousness and behavior, the affected patient experiences long gaps in memory— gaps that far exceed typical episodes …show more content…
In this case, it becomes obvious that people suffering from dissociative identity disorder can get assistance. The treatment through classical conditioning will involve exposing the victim to a certain conditions. The environment should comply with his/her conditions so that treatment for them becomes comfortable. Classical conditioning acts to direct the attention of the victim to a certain level of cognitive thinking, which changes their environmental concerns. Research has also shown that conditioning proceeds differently in patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) than in normal people of the same age (Solomon et al., 1991), so conditioning might not only identify patients with dementia, it may distinguish between AD and other kinds of dementia (Chance, 2013). Such people will finally shift their focus and concentrate on the new behavior. Some victims level of adaptation may differ to the new behavior(s) but with continuous evaluation and influence it collectively comes into place. It’s clear that classical conditioning can be used as a tool for the treatment of dissociative identity disorder. As explained, a person suffering from this disorder can be transformed through classical conditioning to adapt to different behavior(s). This however takes time but ultimately bears …show more content…
Integrating extinction, the researcher(s) can address certain behaviors that hinder/prevent growth and development. Certain factors can affect the study are measures that are integrated to help identify the efficacy for the research conducted. The procedural process is to minimize the factors (behaviors) that interfere with the research. Steps are needed to identify the behavior that occurs. Such as: identifying the behaviors not relevant to the study, methodologies used for the study, gather the data that provides a foundation regarding the study, of course the purpose for the behaviors not relevant, producing a plan of action to breakdown certain variables, decipher the data collected, and reviewing a pre-and post-test data analysis. Also, integrating a Critical Operational Issue Criteria (COIC) can strengthen the effectiveness of extinctions conditional response per the study. COIs/COICs are critical elements or operational mission objectives that must be examined, are related to Measures of Effectiveness (MOE) and Measures of Suitability (MOS), and are included in the Test and Evaluation Master Plan (TEMP)(Defense Acquisition, 2015).
