Television star Tony Danza embarks on a life-changing role as a tenth-grade English teacher. In his novel, I’d Like To Apologize To Every Teacher I Ever Had, Tony Danza shares his experience as a rookie teacher. Northeast High school is an inner-city public school in Philadelphia with over 3,500 students. Chronicling his first year of an English teacher, Mr Danza sheds light on the roller coaster of emotions and issues first year teachers go through and the struggles students face.…

phobia, psychologists may condition her to no longer have her fear through the use of alternative learning processes. The three main learning processes that are utilized in behavioral and cognitive psychology are classical conditioning, operant conditioning, and observational conditioning. In Sally case, such as fears are a major annoyance, nothing to be teased about, but she is so absolutely submissive by her phobias and is unable to lead a normal life. Sally needs evade vulnerable places or…

Specifically, classical and operant conditioning are two methods of associative learning models that psychologist Ivan Pavlov and B.F. Skinner heuristically contributed to the understanding of human behavior. Ivan Pavlov’s significant contribution was fortuitously discovered, since his initial intent was to study salivation and was analyzing a dog’s response to meat when he observed a learning…

a negative reaction in Albert. Using this information they began the act of conditioning Albert to be scared of the white rat that he had previously shown no fear of. When presenting…

labeled as animal cruelty, and therefore, his experiments were unethical. Another criticism of Pavlov’s study is that dogs are not the most biologically similar to humans. In order to achieve the best results to predict the potential for classical conditioning of humans, a more similar animal should have been chosen. Applications or new directions for research: This study could be adapted to help prisoners trying to reform themselves. If negative or illegal thoughts and actions are associated…

down into three main theories; classical conditioning, operant conditioning, and observational learning. These theories break the learning process down into a series of associations, reinforcements, punishments, and observations. Classical conditioning was discovered not by a psychologist, but by a Russian physiologist Ivan Pavlov. While studying dogs digestive systems, Pavlov made an observation that would lay the foundation for classical conditioning. Every day the dogs were fed by his lab…

1984). In the first experiment, the researchers wished to examine the effects of appetitive conditioning on the observational response (OR) to a light. The conditioning was done over six sessions where the rats were presented with food after a pre-exposure of 10 seconds to the light. Similar to the experiment done by Holland (1977), Kaye and Pearce (1984) observed the rat’s behaviours during the conditioning. In contrast, their study defined rearing as the rats making contact with the light…

Based on operant conditioning, I would enhance Genie’s language skills, by using reinenforcements for the consequences. When Genie learns a word I would have gave her words of encouragement. I would have given her words of affirmation and would have encouraged her to move at…

assignment number two, I have chosen the classical conditioning theory. This theory “sees behavior as learned association, when a naturally occurring stimulus (unconditioned stimulus) is paired with a neutral stimulus (conditioned stimulus)” (Hutchison, p. 63). In other words, this theory focuses on the learning process of an individuals’ behavior by pairing together an environmental stimulus and a natural occurring stimulus. Classical conditioning is centered around the social behavior…

Systematic-desensitization is an effective behavioral treatment for phobic behaviors. Based on principles of classical conditioning, it is performed by repeatedly exposing an individual to a conditioned stimulus which would normally elicit a phobic response. An exposure hierarchy is established which consists of a series of exposure thresholds with gradually increasing intensity, the individual will progress through each successive threshold until even the most intense exposure no longer elicits…
