Watson carried out an experiment on ‘Little Albert’. The results of his experiment showed that he could create fear from a certain object, that once was not fearful at all; this was through noises Albert was afraid of. Classical conditioning within a classroom can be used if a child has a positive experience within school they will have good results, but on other hands if the child has a negative attitude towards school they will result to having lower results than expected.. Watson…

and Operant Conditioning Learning changes our behaviors, usually for long term, and our thoughts. The process of learning is adaptive based on our experiences. Learning is the ability by which we achieve goals and dreams. It affects us and the people around us, allows us to develop personally, lets us live a better quality of life, and leads us to opportunities and rewards. Most of learning can be encompassed by classical and operant conditioning (Lilienfeld, 2014). Classical conditioning occurs…

Main premises standing behind the science of psychology are an explanation and differentiation between a normal and abnormal behaviour. The way how a society perceived and described the abnormal behaviour has been evaluating throughout the years. Although, these days, two of the most popular models deserve a particular attention. The first one called the biological approach, believes that the abnormal behaviour has its source in a physical difficulties. Second one, the behaviourist approach…

2. Entering a random sequence of symbols. 3. Double-slicking chimney icons in a determined sequence (from left to right). They were divided into two groups in terms of feedback. The first one received feedback after every session, and the second one after every fourth session. There were 24 sessions in total. As expected it turned out that immediate feedback really is more effective. The first group performed higher across all 24 sessions. Leitenberg (1968) carried out a different experiment to…

in everyday life. Through classic and operant conditioning, subjects can be lead into powerful phobias or addictions which can affect their lives to the point of intervention. These phobias and addictions can be nearly impossible to get over without the process of extinction. Through the implementation of classic and operant conditioning, we can explore the deep-seated root of phobias and addictions as well as the extinction of them. Classic conditioning is defined as “A procedure by which a…

Classical Conditioning is when an animal or human has a reaction to the neutral stimuli. The Stimuli is the thing in which causes the person or animal to make a response/reaction towards it. When the person/animal is conditioned they are being taught to react a certain way to the object. For example, conditioning a dog to not slobber when he sees a bone. In its unconditioned natural state the dog will slobber automatically the minute you show it the bone. When you condition it, the dog learns…

Briefly describe two psychological research studies conducted in the past that would not be considered ethical today, and discuss why this would be the case. Psychologists have conducted many psychological research studies throughout history without many limitations. Some studies were deemed immoral or inhumane as researchers went too far with their methods of experimentation. However it could be seen as a positive, as these studies initiated the establishment of our current ethical principles.…

The subject I experimented on was my mother’s new schnauzer puppy, her name is Josie. Negative reinforcement, positive reinforcement, negative punishment, and positive punishment are the different types of operant conditioning. Out of the four different types of operant conditioning techniques the one I chose that would work the best is positive reinforcement. The reason why I chose the technique of positive reinforcement is because Josie is a very timid puppy towards people other than my mom.…

your own words what is classical conditioning and operant conditioning. In changing behavior which works better, praise or punishment? Classical conditioning: Classical Conditioning is the conditioning g in which the conditioned stimulus (like a sound) is paired with the unconditioned stimulus (like a visual a person or thing) until the conditioned stimulus alone is enough to elicit the response (like fear) Ivan Pavlov, the researcher that classical conditioning is most often associated with,…
