To understand Classical Conditioning, you first must know what conditioning is. Conditioning is to modify a response so that the response previously associated with one stimulus (=thing) becomes associated with another (CITATION). These can be different for each individual but simply means reacting to something based on a previous encounter or experience. Classical Conditioning was “first proposed and studied by Ivan Pavlov, it is one form of learning in which an organism "learns" through establishing associations between different events and stimuli. For example, when a neutral stimulus (such as a bell) is paired with an unconditioned stimulus (such as food) which produces some involuntary bodily response all on its own (such as

There 5 key elements when discussing Classical Condition which are: Unconditioned Stimulus (UCS), Unconditioned Response (UCR), Neutral Stimulus (NS), Conditioned Stimulus (CS) and Conditioned Response (CR). This is best described in an example. For instance, say you get in a car accident because someone ran a stop sign and you broke your arm quite severally, now every time you are about to come to a stop sign, you start to sweat In this scenario the Unconditioned Stimulus is going through a 4 stop intersection, the Unconditioned Response is a pain from the broken arm, the Neutral Stimulus is Stop signs, as well as the Conditioned Stimulus, and the Conditioned Response is sweating. This may seem confusing but it really just means, a person developed a response to a fear because of a bad experience. You commonly see Classical Conditioning when someone has a fear of something, which is how i see it in my life. When i was younger i was admitted into The Hospital of Sick Children on and off for about 2 …show more content…
Being in the hospital for months on end did have its boring times, which made even the most simple stimuli enjoyable. Anyway, one day the doctors and my parents thought it may be a good idea if i went outside and got some fresh air (as fresh as Toronto street air is) which i was enacted for. The Hospital of Sick Children f you don 't know is located downtown Toronto, when you walk in the front doors in is incredible how high the ceiling is. They have bright yellow elevators that you can see racing up passing each floor and kind of a magical feel for kids, i guess this was their attempt in making us feel like we weren 't at a hospital. When i got down the front entrance i was so excited because i saw a revolving door, giving my Mom no time to react i latched my hand onto my IV pole dragged it behind me as i took the biggest steps possible to get to the door. Revolving doors had always gave me enjoy as a kid, however i had never been through one with an IV in my hand. Needless to say the door was not forgiving, it ripped the needle out of my hand and i started to scream. Did you know that was you start freaking out in a revolving door, getting out of them seems a lot more
