As students taking psychology at Hood College, we started to learn about the branches of conditioning. After learning about this we were then asked to observe 3 different commercials that were very peculiar because they seemed normal to the naked eye. But after analyzing it more closely we saw a few different types of conditions being present. The types of condition that were perceived were classical conditioning, operant conditioning and observational learning. To start off, classical conditioning is “A type of learning in which a neutral stimulus acquires the ability to evoke a response that was originally evoked by another stimulus.”…
Email may provoke neutrality effect or the negativity effects. Neutrality effect is when the recipient is when the recipient does not take the intended emotion into consideration hence that emotion becomes neutral. For instance, the sender may want the recipient to ‘hear' the enthusiasm in the message, but in the decoding process, the recipient does not ‘hear' that enthusiasm. On the other hand, negative effect refers to when what sender intends to be neutral is perceived as negative by the recipient. The effects of emotional inaccuracy due to the neutrality and negativity effects can lead to conflict escalation, confusion, and anxiety.…
I use to own a Chihuahua Tea-Cup named Gizmo cute little black and white. We lived out in the country in Kerman so when we would pull up it would run towards us unconditional stimulus before condition. By seeing us pull to drive way it was unconditional response. By Gizmo just hearing the car engine it was a Neutral Stimulus and not seeing us it wouldn’t run to car unconditioned response. When it saw us and heard the engine it would run and wag its tail during conditioning unconditioned response.…
There are many things in the world that hold a significant value, such as music. Music allows people to relate to a song by studying the elements it possesses, which creates a certain feeling that corresponds with the song and mood of the listener, therefore, making the song have a significant value. Most songs that have a significant meaning are written on a personal level by the artist. For example, the song “Wide Open Spaces” was written by Susan gibson who used her own personal experience of going off to college at the University of Montana. The song was later recorded by the The Dixie Chicks, and added country elements on the instrumental side of the song.…
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).…
"Excuse me," I murmured. " Mrs. Karen, Luke asked you a question." Mrs. Karen froze. She didn't respond, she didn't move, all she did was stare at the dim, glowing screen of her phone. When she finally did dare to move, a sorrowful facial expression spreed across her face as she turned off her phone.…
As we learned from the previous assignment, Alvin Lucier is a composer of experimental music. This work August Moon is consisted of three instruments, which are horn, piano, and a string instrument that might be a cello. Entire music is composed of the similar patterns of playing. Piano, horn, and cello are playing as a trio every seven seconds. During the duration of the music, which is about fifteen minutes, the similar playing is repeated and each instruments paly their own role.…
This performance is from October in 2015. Personally I liked the piece, but it could use a little more help. While they have good points in the piece they also had some low points. The basses had a good deep and dark sound like you want for many of our male singers to achieve. Their vowels were outstanding just like they always are.…
A classic princess story, Cinderella remains to be one of Disney’s most popular movies. However, what is disturbing is the manner in which this movie imposes gender roles by depicting women in a negative manner. This film seems to be reinforcing the notion that women are weaklings and that the only way in which any society can survive is by upholding male dominance and embracing female submissiveness. The movie begins by showing Cinderella living happily with her parents in a faraway kingdom.…
I believe I had hit another child at school and I received a recess detention. My parents were very disappointed in me and when I got home I got a spanking. Now I try to never do anything that will get me in trouble and make my parents angry with me. The unconditioned stimulus (a stimulus that occurs naturally and is unlearned) was my parents.…
METHODS Subjects The study consisted of four rats. All the rats are male and are virtual albino Sprague-dawley. The rats in this study are not previously conditioned.…
OutKast, a popular rap group throughout the nineties and early 2000s, has a renowned song entitled “Hey Ya!” which features the smooth flows of Andre 3000 and hard hitting rhymes of Big Boi. The song has been a huge hit for years and is virtually known by every American under the age of thirty. When the song was released in 2003, I was just three years old, but had already adopted my dad’s love for music and I frequented the kitchen tile as my dance floor whenever music was playing. OutKast’s song “Hey Ya!” holds a different weight than most other songs I grew up around because it is one of few memories I remember vividly about my childhood.…
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. The unconditioned stimulus triggers a response naturally and automatically. 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).…
For example, a teacher starts clapping their hands to promote silence from the class. The clapping of the teacher’s hands would signify the neutral stimulus while…
1. There are many different ways humans and organisms learn. According to Feldman, R. 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.…
