    The Office: Classical Conditioning

    In the video clip for The Office, the neutral stimulus that became the conditioned stimulus was the bell/alarm on the computer. An example of classical conditioning that I had experienced would be with my horses. When I first got my horses, I would whistle to them when I was bringing feed. At first they did not notice my whistle until they saw the bucket of feed, now though, every time I whistle their heads pop up. Now every time I whistle, my horses come looking for my bucket of feed, even when I do not have food, like when I go on a run down…

    Personal Example Of Classical Conditioning

    My personal example of classical conditioning took place on a warm sunny summer day floating in a very relaxing pool. My boyfriend and I were floating around enjoying our summer break drinking Tequila out of oversized Yeti cups; mine was pink. It was all bubbles and butterflies at first, but when I got out of the pool and began to walk I soon discovered my cerebellum had been impaired. Minutes later I puked and passed out. The tequila was an unconditioned stimulus (UCS).…

    Classical Conditioning And Unconditioned Response By Ivan Pavlov

    Pavlov dogs displayed a principle called extinction. It is when the occurrences of a conditioned response decrease or disappears. When the conditioned stimulus is no longer paired with a conditional stimulus this principle happens. A bell was ringed repeatedly and there was no food presented. The conditioned dog was presented with the conditioned stimulus alone, without the unconditioned stimulus.…

    The Giver Summary Chapter 11

    Something that I've learned while reading chapter 11 is that there is one person in the entire community that knows about all the memories and features of the real world. Jonas becomes the receiver of memories and the giver transmits the memories to him. Jonas’s experience reminds me of when I first moved to Indiana from Florida. The transmitting of the memories made Jonas think more. Jonas became a different person based on what he knew about snow, sunshine, and color.…

    Chapter 3 Summary

    Chapter 3 also poses the question of why marriage even exists in our diversely-religious society. One suggestion is that it has become a norm. Culture is learned and values change over time. The societal norms that were in place in the past are not the same as the norms now. A traditional norm that is changing is the roles men and women play in the household.…

    It's Not Just About Salivating Dogs Case Study

    Study #1 Article Title: It’s Not Just About Salivating Dogs! Author: Ivan Pavlov Date of Study: 1927 Hypothesis: Ivan Pavlov believed that if a dog was exposed to a specific stimulus while being fed, the dog’s brain would associate the stimulus with the food; due to this association, the stimulus alone would prompt the dogs to salivate. Variables: The independent variables, or the variables being manipulated and tested, are the various stimuli that Pavlov used to ingrain a response in the dogs: the ticking of metronome, footsteps, the scent of vanilla, a rotating object. The dependent variable, or the variable measured and tested, is the presence of salivation in response to a neutral stimulus after the dogs have been conditioned to associate the stimulus with food.…

    Classical Conditioning In Cinderella

    According to this learning theory, every aspect of human psychology is as a result of stimulus and response (Medin, Ross, and Markman 50). The theory stipulates that unconditioned stimulus (UCS) brings about unconditioned response (UCR) in any living organism. This is to mean that a stimulus placed in an environment produces a response or behavior that is unlearned and hence becomes a natural response that has not been taught. Children watching the film, Cinderella, are likely to acquire the perspective that women are weak and need to be rescued by men through classical conditioning mode of learning.…

    Differences And Similarities Of Skinner And Pavlov's Theories To Education

    Application in Education Similarities and Differences Just as there are differences and similarities between Skinner and Pavlov’s theories, the same could be observed when applying their theories to education. As for the first similarity, both theories involve the process of pairing (Lee, 2005). Pavlov’s classical conditioning involves pairing a neutral stimulus with an unconditioned stimulus to create an unconditioned response. When this pairing is demonstrated multiple times the desired behavior becomes the conditioned response. Pavlov would exemplify this process in education.…

S., (1989), learning is defined as, “a relatively permanent change in behavior that is brought about by experience.” The two types of learning principles we will be discussing are classical conditioning and operant conditioning. A Russian physiologist named Ivan Pavlov discovered classical conditioning.…
