able to consent that a parent consent for them. Little Albert could not consent and it is speculated that his mother had no idea that the experiments were taking place, so she could not consent either. The fact that Watson did not try to undo the conditioning also sparks ethical debate. He did not ensure the child’s wellbeing after the experiments which is arguably the most important code to abide by. Some of the ethical principles were founded because of Watson and Jones’s experiments, though…

but if we do not have the proper data to back up its ideas, who’s to say that it is all a figment of our imagination? I also feel that behavior is the result of stimulus and that our responses to stimuli are learned over time through some form of conditioning. The only thing I am still not sure where I stand on is consciousness. I have always grown up with the idea that there is something in our head telling us right from wrong but I also feel that psychology should be viewed as a science, which…

Trent Jones and Carlton Stowers states in “The Praise Method” about the positive and negative reinforcement teaching methods. A boy called Rodney, and his sisters and mother think he is not a smart child, so the negative reinforcement leads him has a poor academic performance at school. After he transfers to another school and meets Mr. Jones, Mr. Jones believes that Rodney is on the same level with other students, and he uses “the praise method” to help Rodney to become one of the best students…

is conditioned to make an operant response to a definitive stimulus is referred to as discrimination training (Gray & Bjorklund, 2014). Herrnstein, Loveland and Cable (1976) argued that comparing the definitive stimuli commonly used in operant conditioning (100 Hz tones, 465 mµ lights) to real natural setting defy concept of responding to a specific stimuli. For example, in natural settings a squirrel will not only respond to acorns similar to the one presented on an image in a controlled lab…

In what ways can classical conditioning principles be used to treat problem behaviours in humans? This essay seeks to present and show how the classical conditioning principles can be used and applied to treat problem behaviours in humans. First the concept of classical conditioning will be briefly defined after which the concept of learning through conditioning will be examined. The paragraph after that will concentrate on defining and presenting the core idea of behavioural therapy. After…

After hearing the sound of fireworks, the barking of a dog, or even just the sight of a weapon, something in a persons mind with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) will trigger. Horror will constantly torment the mind, no matter what or where the person is. This is part of what people diagnosed with PTSD go through on a daily basis. Unfortunately, little is known about why the human body induces this mental disorder, or why it takes so long to recover from. However, based off recent research,…

Classical Conditioning are nothing more than, a way of learning a response from a stimulus. We can see this by looking at a stop sign, when you see the stop sign you stop. That is because we a conditioned to stop by the sign. Ivan Pavlov, a Russian Physiologist had been studying Conditioning and well what he came up with is very confusing, so to put in terms that we can all understand no matter your background is like this. " Conditioned is learned, Unconditioned is not learned, during…

With regards to operant conditioning, individuals learn that reinforcement (negative or positive) is determined by their behaviour however in the LH model, individuals learn their behaviour has no control over reinforcement (Ramnero et al., 2016). As Steensma and Van Dijke (2006)…

Introduction Functional Behavior Assessment is a scientific approach to analyzing direct and indirect data to formulate a hypothesis of why a target behavior is occurring and most importantly how it is maintained. A process for gathering information that can be used to maximize the effectiveness and efficiency of behavior intervention plans. The student behavior is analyzes and evaluate for Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA). FBA is there to provide help to reinforce the desire and appropriate…

Thoughts and emotions can play just as big a role in behavioral outcomes as conditioned learning does. The greatest flaw in B.F. Skinner’s concept of radical behaviorism is his thinking that internal mental processes are irrelevant to behavioral outcomes. Skinner’s concept of behaviorism has the concept of tabula rasa, that a newborn baby’s brain is a blank slate, that the child has no organized behavior. He believed that all brains worked in the same way, that performing psychological…
