My Conditioning Project

Decent Essays
For my conditioning project, I conducted an experiment on my friend Ashleigh. Everyday I would leave my jacket in our locker and ask her to bring it to me at the end of the day. We met up in the front of the school and when she brought me my jacket I would ask for her hand and shake it. The point of the project was to see if without me saying hand, would she automatically stick her hand out, expecting me to shake it. My project was a success in the end but, I had to make some changes to my original plan. Originally, my experiment was supposed to be me giving Ashleigh life savers but, coincidentally on the day of the first experiment she came to school with a bag of her own life savers. Instead of ditching my whole plan, I decided to tweak

    My observation will be on the behavior of kids interacting with other kids at the Boone’s playground. I will observe kids around 1pm on Monday. My hypothesis of my observation is that 65% of girls will interact with each other in the playground while only 35% of boys will interact at the Boone’s playground. I came up with this hypothesis because girls usually just sit around and just talk at the playground more than boys and the boys play sports than the girls. I chose this particular setting because of it is was my elementary/middle school and there are a lot of children so it is easier to observe them.…

    The Milgram Experiment In the 1960s, Stanley Milgram (1993-1984) began an experiment that would test to see how obedient people would be no matter the circumstances. One experiment Milgram performed consisted of volunteers shocking someone they did not know if he or she did not answer a question correctly. As the questions are answered incorrectly, the voltage would rise. Unknown to the volunteer, the subject that is being shocked is an actor that is not being electrocuted, and the volunteer was the subject of the experiment. As the experiment continued, the volunteers began to become stressed (Taylor, Peplau, & Sears, 2005, p. 228).…

    Classical and Operant Conditioning Name Institutional Affiliation Classical and Operant Conditioning Classical and operant conditioning are two significant concepts essential to behavioural psychology. Classical conditioning was studied by Ivan Pavlov and it involves pairing a previously neutral stimulus with an unconditioned stimulus.

In classical conditioning, learning refers to involuntary responses that result from experiences that occur before a response. Classical conditioning supports the idea that people develop responses to certain stimuli that are not naturally occurring (Lilienfeld, 2011, p. 204).…
