Classical Realism

learning is subjected to any-form of information and therefore memorizing the information. These pioneers in learning explore and study in areas such as reflex response; finding that it is involuntary, and is not chosen, or in ones control. And, classical conditioning; one is learning to make an involuntary response to a stimulus (not what was though to be necessarily natural) this produces the reflex. Also unconditioned response (URC) has been stated to be an inventory response in a natural…

Lysistrata, a play written by Aristophanes in 410 BC is a comedic battle of the sexes as the women of Athens decide to take it upon themselves to end the Peloponnesian War. Lead by the titular character Lysistrata, women from both sides of the war agree to abstain from having sexual relations with their husbands to have the men cease fighting. In the end men from both sides, in obvious and extreme sexual frustration, agree to end the war and return home with their wives. Although Lysistrata is a…

Through existence of the Greek polis, political views and popular ideologies were ever changing due to the unique politics within each city state. Such changes include a continuous decrease in popularity towards the implementation of democracy in contrast towards oligarchy and the idea of the benevolent dictator. However, certain aspects of Greek life were significant enough to have persisted throughout Greek political life, the use of religion to derive legitimacy for example. Democracy and…

In today’s society advertisements are forced down the throats of everyday people. From endless commercials during televisions shows and YouTube videos, to driving down the high way on bill boards, and even are being flown across the sky by airplanes for beach goers and vacationers. Advertisements have become a main influence on society, commonly pairing their products with stimuli that will hopefully elicit positive emotions or other specific feelings to persuade a buyer (Weiten, 2013, p.269).…

was placed. After the first several treatments, Penny began to shiver while waiting to be taken back for her IV treatment. Eventually, Penny even stopped wanting to go for car rides and she would shake all the way to the vet. This is an example of classical conditioning. My dog originally felt comfortable enough in the vet’s waiting room (the conditioned stimulus) to focus more on the other people and dogs. She had never before shivered with fear or anxiety while waiting to be seen. Because she…

Introduction In this assignment, Assignment 2, Reflexive Paper, I will discuss and evaluate three prevalent perspectives about learning and instruction. These are behaviorism, constructivism, and cognitive information processing. As I complete my tenure in the ISLT program, I feel overwhelmed with new information, which will only be truly understood when I apply it in the field. It is very interesting learning and understanding the science of why certain practices are incorporated into…

Introduction Behavior is generally both physical and psychological response towards stimuli. It encompasses organism’s observable physical movements and internal psychological process, summing up to how an organism responds with the environment. Sniffy experiment seeks to demonstrate how the virtual rat responds to tone and shock variation. It is possible to measure organism behavior using one or more parameters, including duration, intensity, and frequency. While experimentation is a better…

Inelastic collisions occur when the kinetic energy of an object is not conserved, but converted into other forms of energy, such as heat or potential energy. As such, they still obey the conservation of energy principle that energy cannot be created or destroyed. When two bodies undergo an inelastic collision, their combined initial kinetic energy is not equal to the final kinetic energy of the system. When a tennis ball bounces on the ground, the kinetic energy that the ball possesses just…

However, Beethoven’s pursuit of receiving Mozart’s instruction did not stop there. Since Mozart died before he could teach Beethoven, Beethoven returned to Vienna once again to seek a new teacher, Joseph Haydn, who was another brilliant Classical composer. Beethoven hoped he could “receive Mozart’s spirit from Haydn’s hands”, but sadly, Haydn wasn’t such a great teacher. According to Beachy, a previous composition major at West Virginia University who studied Beethoven’s influences from a…

1.0 SOCIAL LEARNING Social learning theory by Albert Bandura (1977) practices the same concept with classical conditioning and operant conditioning. This learning theory emphasises on on-going process occurs between stimuli and response. Albert Bandura stated that behaviour is learned from the environment by observational learning. Social learning theory is about the process of interactions between children’s thoughts, feelings and behaviours and the surrounding environment. Social learning…
