¬ Pavlov’s historical experiment started off with him just just measuring if and how much a dog would salivate during digestion. The dog would salivate quickly when it saw the food but after repeatedly doing the same test Pavlov noticed that the dog started to salivate even before the food was presented and that even just listening to his footsteps the dog would start to salivate. Pavlov wanted to find out why this was happening so he wanted to find out by “systematically varying the stimuli…

Learning is a concept that is familiar to most of the human population and many other organisms. Many learn through association; when one thing is linked to another. Conditioning- when behavior changes because the organism links that behavior with a certain event- is a form of associative learning. Ivan Pavlov was a Russian physiologist who was studying saliva and digestion when he discovered classical conditioning quite by accident. While conducting his experiments on saliva, Pavlov realized…

Learning can happen anywhere, but in fact classroom is one of the best place for children to learn new behaviour. Adopting new behaviour is not easy, the behaviour has to be repeated and reinfoced for many times until it becomes a habit. There are three behavioural learning theories that can explan how human learn new behaviour. The first theory is Classical Conditioning.

Introduction According to Glanz, Rimer and Lewis (2002), the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) is an addition to the Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA). The TRA was first introduced in 1967 by Fishbein and suggests that the most important determinant of behavior is behavioral intention, or the intent to follow a specific course of action. In 1986 Ajzen and Madden incorporated another element to the TRA, perceived behavioral control and proposed the TPB. One of the greatest values of this theory has…

Fear is a two part behavior, the respondent component is the physiological responses from the stimuli, anxiety. The second part is operant, in that a person will avoid or flee a stimulus until the response decreases (Koehler, 2015). This is negative reinforcement, as it is the removal of the adverse stimuli. Together these responses make up fear (Miltenberger, 2015). Therefore, Jackie’s situation could be explained as both respondent (also known as classical) conditioning, and operant…
