Classical conditioning is a way we learn to associate stimuli, and further expect events (Speilman, 2014, sect. 6.2). The founder of this process is named Ivan Pavlov, which was born in 1849 and deceased 1936. Classical conditioning, for example, is when you make a beeping noise every time before you feed a dog a treat, when you repeatedly do this, the dog will associate the sound with the treat (Speilman, 2014, sect. 6.2). This means that eventually, every time it hears the beeping noise, the dog will salivate, because it expects a treat. I recently watched an experiment of classical conditioning on a show named How I Met Your Mother. In summary, Barney classically conditioned Marshall into craving Shinjitzu, a hibachi restaurant, for one of Barney’s usual evil plans. Every time Marshall said the word Shinjitzu, Barney would sneeze, making Marshall associate the two. A few months later, Barney sneezed, to purposely make Marshall crave Shinjitzu. This episode can be found on Hulu, on a television show named How I Met

6.3). The law of effect by Edward Thorndike was the one who inspred B.F Skinner into oursuing the belief that learning is the result of consequence (Speilman, 2014, sect. 6.3).A good consequence would make a dog want to continue the behavior, while a bad consequence can make the dog discontinue the particular action. An example of this is when you tell a dog to sit and give him w treat when he completes the task. The dog associates the word with the action, and later expects the treat after he sits. An experiment of operant conditioning includes the “skinner box”, which contains a lever for rats or disk for pigeons. The lever or disk would dispense food after being pressed, then the amount of times the lever was pressed were recorded. This presents a positive reinforcement in operant conditioning (Speilman, 2014, sect.
