Pavlov and John B. Watson. Ian Pavlov was a Russian physiologist studying the digestive system of dogs when he happened upon one of the key discoveries in behavioral psychology: conditioned response, which come to be known as classical “Pavlovian” conditioning. This discovery showed that a conditioned stimulus, ringing a bell, could be paired with an unconditioned stimulus, getting food, which produces the unconditioned response of salivating. Doing that regularly then makes the conditioned…

However, classical conditioning is not a condition of a everyday life. Yet, scientists still can have proofs by doing experiments with this. However, a behavior or response on something in a daily life can be done by operant conditioning or observational learning. From my experience, my fear towards cockroaches was based on my cousin’s fear towards them (observational learning)…

Creative Arts Therapy, specifically psychodrama or drama therapy has the potential to revolutionize care of patients suffering from emotional trauma including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Drama therapy is a group activity developed by the psychiatrist Jacob Moreno who used “enactments of real-life situations to reveal the attitudes, beliefs, feelings, and values that underlie social interactions, thus deepening our understanding of them” (Leveton).

Problem #1: A problem that a school administrator might encounter is to keep students engaged in class. In many ways, the school administrator can use operant conditioning to manage student behavior. In the classroom, positive reinforcement should be the primary way in managing the students’ behaviors. Positive reinforcement in the classroom can come in many forms. Using a behavior chart is an efficient way to make positive reinforcement available to all students. A behavior chart should…

Psychoanalytic Theory with Psychosexual Component Freud’s theory is centered on the idea that a person’s past…

For changing my behavior, operant conditioning, which is when I gave myself a negative punishment, seemed to help decrease my behavior. Since I really wanted my reward of candy at the end of the day I didn’t bit my nails. Positive reinforcement is another way that could have helped for influencing…

In the 1890’s, the Russian physiologist Ivan Pavlov discovered classical conditioning via dogs and meat powder. John Watson introduced classical conditioning in advertising after losing his job to an affair. Classical conditioning occurs when one pairs two stimuli numerous times, in a format that generally implies that an action occurs due to a stimulus, as in Pavlov’s dog experiment. Classical conditioning is an aspect of behaviorism used in everyday things such as advertising by relating one…

With Thumbelina she only knows not to use her pacifier at school so she will be able to have it at home. This does not stop the behavior or sucking the thumb or pacifier all together it just limits it. The mother should continue to use operant conditioning but use it in a way that shapes Thumbelina’s behavior so she stops sucking her thumb and pacifier all together. A good example would be to use a negative reinforcement. The mother should put a sour tasting liquid, (that is safe for…
