Measurement of Reaction Time According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, reaction time is the time elapsing between the beginning of the application of a stimulus and the beginning of an organism's reaction to it. In the lab that was conducted, the reaction time of the muscular and nervous system was tested. In the muscular system, specific thenar muscles such as the adductor pollicis brevis, abductor pollicis, opponens pollicis, and the interosseous were involved and tested to cause…

through conditioning. Which can be modified through stimulus responses, where if not used correctly in a classroom per say can be ineffective and have no effect on the child. Some may get behaviourism confused in which they think it is a form of control when really it is all about behaviour modification. The conditioning of behaviourism occurs in the mix of interaction with the environment of the classroom (Woolfolk & Margett 2016, page 220). This is then divided into 4 types of conditioning;…

There are two behavioral phenomena being studied in this research. The first phenomenon is Classical conditioning with inhibitory conditioning. Classical conditioning is a process in which a previous stimulus that does not elicit certain response is associated with a second stimulus that does: as a result, the first neutral stimulus comes to elicit a response.
