So as to examine classical and operant conditioning, it required to first define the topic from which they are obtained, that is learning. “Learning is any comparatively durable change in behavior produced by an experience.” Operant and Classical conditioning are two of several theories on learning which take the behaviorist approach. “Classical conditioning is a relationship of one event with another that marks in a pattern of behavior.” Operant conditioning is “learning that happens as a…

I saw a really interesting interaction today between the jaguars and a service dog and I think we might be able to use it as a possible intervention strategy for Philly’s tail biting behavior. After seeing the dog, all jaguars instantly became fixated on the dog, especially Philly. After getting their attention they began stalking, chasing, and pouncing at the glass. (I have a brief video of the interaction) Here is a rough training plan I was thinking of: Phase 1: Blow a whistle and then after…

on respondent conditioning? (pg. 332) Pavlov initially implanted tubes into the dogs’ gland to measure the amount of secretion. When his assistant would present food to the dogs, they would salivate. After some time, they noticed that the dogs would salivate whenever the assistant entered the room, irrespective of whether he had food or not. b. Then describe the exact analogy between those observed events and the events he arranged in his classic demonstrations of conditioning, and…

The behavioral aspect of phychology is very important to understanding how people act. “Ivan Pavlov was the Russian physiologist that was able to demonstrate that dogs could associate something as neutral such as the ring of a bell could trigger the salvation of a dog.” (Hockenbarry) This was a very immense contribution to phycology because it was able to show future psychologists that people are also able to connect a neutral object with an upcoming event. A person may associate the siren of a…

The experiment examined the reward magnitude and negative contrast effects on rats operant-lever response performance. The experimental design was both between and within subject design. The subjects were eight Sprague Dawkey females rats who were randomly assigned to a group that received 16% of sucrose ( n=4) and another group received 4% of sucrose ( n=4) which was the control group of the experiment. Both groups were deprived of water for 23 hours and had food access. The preshift sessions…

There are many alternative theories surrounding the subject of ‘how children learn’. Firstly, one of the most influential theories of how children learn in today’s education system is constructivism which has been accepted as a model of children’s cognitive development since the 1950’s when it was developed by Jean Piaget (1896-1980). He aimed to develop a theory which was able to show ‘the nature of knowledge and the ways in which an individual acquires knowledge.’ Smith et al. (2003, p. 388).…

recycling bin instead of the trash bin, you most likely will too. The reason why is because you want your friends to think you’re a good person for recycling. Operant conditioning is when you change an organism’s behavior by controlling the consequences of the behavior. This idea is sometimes called training. An example of operant conditioning is: some stores rewarding customers for bringing reusable totes bags by…

The Helping Project Pavlovian conditioning or more commonly known as classical conditioning is a behavioral association. Classical conditioning is a behavioral association between a naturally occurring events and an environmental stimulus. Think training your dog how to sit or roll over it’s the same concept. Actually it is called Pavlovian conditioning because of Ivan Pavlov. Ian Pavlov’s work actually started as a study on the digestion of dogs. Specifically the relationship between…

Research Outline Issue: Animal training methods and their effectiveness in terms of safety and success in producing desired outcomes. Thesis: Positive reinforcement training (PRT) is more effective in animal training than other traditional methods of training as it promotes obedience through a trusting relationship, reduces stress on the animal, and benefits the well-being and safety of both animal and trainer. I. Introduction: Widely used animal training techniques have varied from making an…

This case study is about a man who goes by the name of Captain Hook and he is dealing with the loss of his hand in a sword incident, and having to accept that there was no chance of it being reattached because it had been fed to an animal. This man has a long ongoing feud with a young man by the name of Peter Pan that lives in the same area, a place called “Neverland”. These two men have had constant altercations ongoing for many many years, dating back a long time. This young man ultimately…
