Classical Conditioning UCS- The unconditioned stimulus in this experiment is the air coming out of the straw. When the air is blown into the eye, the eye automatically blinks. This is a natural reaction and has no other foreign variables acting upon it to influence the blinking. An unconditioned stimulus triggers an automatic response. UCR- The unconditioned response in this experiment is the eye blinking after being blown into. As stated earlier, this response is unlearned and happens without…

The theory of classical conditioning is that in which two stimuli are repeatedly paired together to train the brain to expect something when a specific action is performed noise heard and things of that nature. The process being the integration of the stimuli together over a period of time to the point where it is subconsciously expected every time the stimuli is present. Operant conditioning is the mental training that involves the association of rewards and punishments for behavior…

Classical conditioning is a way we learn to associate stimuli, and further expect events (Speilman, 2014, sect. 6.2). The founder of this process is named Ivan Pavlov, which was born in 1849 and deceased 1936. Classical conditioning, for example, is when you make a beeping noise every time before you feed a dog a treat, when you repeatedly do this, the dog will associate the sound with the treat (Speilman, 2014, sect. 6.2). This means that eventually, every time it hears the beeping noise, the…

will to choose their moral and spiritual path were taught by Pico della Mirandola. I do not agree with what Pico della Mirandola had taught because human beings do not have absolute free will to choose their moral and spiritual path. Pico della Mirandola once said “therefore, every human being has absolute freedom to choose whatever place in the “great chain of being” he or she may choose.” By saying “great chain of being” Pico della Mirandola is using that to represent the different social…

Beginning in the 14th century and extending to the 17th was the Renaissance period, which was a movement that happened in Europe according to the production of literature and art. The word Renaissance itself means the rebirth of visualizing art, architecture, politics, science, literature, in one word, culture. This movement started in Italy and later showed itself all over Europe. From this period of time a lot of artistes appear with great artwork growing the perspective of this movement. Jan…

In a time when ideology and convictions were shaped by the church, a new ideology was on the horizon that would begin the revolutionary transformation of the western world into what we know as the renaissance period. This new way of thought was brought about due to certain doctrines of the Catholic church that was viewed as uncanonical and dogmatic. The idealistic movement of Renaissance humanism’s spread throughout first Florence and then western Europe was greatly due to men with common…

Leo Tolstoy wrote: The Death of Ivan Ilyich in 1886 to show his view of how life should be, how we all should live, and what actually matter most at the end of everything. According to Tolstoy, there are 2 ways to live life; one is by outer appearance which are propriety, decorum, and standards of conduct, and second, inner appearances, and spiritual life which are “the real thing” that makes one’s life worthwhile. Insincere life style is the first way human can choose to live and it is shown…

unfulfilling jobs, Tolstoy struggled with finding a purpose for his existence and began to put his faith into religious outlets. Ivan Ilych, the main character of his story The Death of Ivan Ilych, shows a struggle very similar to this. I believe that this novel is a reflection of the pursuit in which Tolstoy sought to find life fulfilling work, as well as a purpose for living. Ivan Ilych is first introduced through…

Ruler, Ivan the Terrible Ivan Vasilyevich, Ivan IV, was a Machiavellian ruler called to the throne at the age of three after his father’s death; however, his mother, Yelena Glinskaya, ruled as a surrogate until her death in 1538. Later on, Ivan IV was crowned as Russia’s ruler on January 16, 1547 (Andryev). Later, during the constructive period of Ivan’s reign, he issued many reforms involving self-government, taxes, and religion (“Ivan the Terrible”). After this seemingly calm time, Ivan IV’s…

Ivan IV Vasilyevich, a ruler over Russia during the 1500s, has much controversy surrounding him. Many historians debate whether Ivan's name was really meant to mean cruel and sinister or awesome and threatening. The nickname of "Ivan the Terrible" is a translation from the Russian language. The original word used for terrible was "grozny", which is believed by some to have meant "fearsome" or "formidable", rather than horrific and monstrous ("Prominent Russians"). Ivan was truly terrible because…
