The hypothesis can be supported after the results obtained because the experimental groups changed their behavior toward the vinegar. This happened beacuse the neurons that encoded the water smell were activated and this new artificially produced smell replaced the one in the air. The rats trusting their sense signaling them it was water went to taste it and had a disgusting surprise realizing it was vinegar. These results suggest that the smell of water was indeed artificially induced into the…

Ivan Pavlov: Founder of Conditioned Reflexes Background On September 14, 1849, Ivan Petrovich Pavlov was born in Ryazan, Russia. Son of Peter Dmitrievich Pavlov and Varvara Ivanovna Uspenskaya, Ivan was the oldest of eleven siblings in his religious household. His father, Peter, was a village priest and his mother, Varvara, was a housewife. Ivan went to a church school where he studied theology until his interests pursued him to study scientific pursuit. As a young boy, his biggest…

Title: Critical Analysis of a Psychological Concept Classical conditioning, a form of behaviorism, as defined in, Exploring Psychology in Modules by David G. Myers and C. Nathan Dewall, is “a type of learning in which one learns to link two or more stimuli and anticipate events” (248). In other words, classical conditioning is when two stimuli are paired repeatedly (first and second) and the response (leaving the classroom) that was once given by the second stimuli (being dismissed) is…

In behavioural psychology there are two key concepts to learning behaviour; classical and operant conditioning. In order to understand how these techniques can be used, the differences need to be distinguished between them, therefore giving a better understanding of how learning can be developed and modified. Classical conditioning is a two stimuli learning process that involves one stimuli being influenced by the second. Throughout time the second stimuli is able to work alone without the…

He questioned what would happen if after conditioning, the bell (CS) occurred repeatedly without the food(US)? Would the dog still salivate(CR)? It seemed that the dog salivated less and less as time went on without the food(US). This reaction is known as Extinction. Gradually the dog stopped salivating to the sound of the bell and became extinct. Extinction weakens the CR while Acquisition strengthens it. However, when the bell was again paired with the food (US) he started to…

Part I: Applications of Classical Conditioning Treatment of Dissociative Identity Disorder The treatment of the dissociative identity disorder follows a consistent observance of psychological requirements. It is important to understand that therapists have the tendency to clearly understand the best practices regarding medication. Classical conditioning is one of the methods that can be used to ensure that dissociative identity disorder patients get their treatment. Dissociative…

Rosenhan, D. L. (1973). On being sane in insane places. Science, 179, 250-258. Insane or Not David Rosenhan conducted a study investigating the ability to distinguish the difference between the sane and insane in insane environments. The study involved pseudopatients who travelled to separate psychological hospitals where all but one of them were diagnosed and admitted with schizophrenia after all complaining to hear voices. Once inside, the pseudopatients acted normally and…

What is “Centrifugal Bumble Puppy”? Why is it important for games to require a complicated apparatus? Centrifugal Bumble Puppy is a game. It is played with kids circled around a chrome steel tower and a ball is thrown up so it can land on top of the tower. Then it goes down through the interior of the tower and come out through a whole and it has to be caught. The kids are taught to rely on the complex machinery and it increases the consumption of material goods and therefore to boost the…

Classical conditioning is a process in which behaviour is modified. It was made famous by Ivan Pavlov and the experiments he carried out by using his dogs. Classical conditioning occurs when an unconditioned stimulus is paired with a conditioned stimulus. When both stimuli have been repeatedly paired, the organism which in Pavlov’s case was his dog shows a conditioned response to the conditioned stimulus. During the 1890’s, Pavlov accidentally discovered classical conditioning when feeding his…

Behavioral Approach studies how organisms learn new behaviors or modify existing ones using reward and punishments. Ivan Pavlov was a Russian psychologist that contributed experiments containing assosiation. Association is a connection between people or organizations. In this case Pavlov associated the ringing of a bell with food which made the dog salivate. Regardless of whether or not there was food in front of the dog, when it heard the bell it would automatically start salivating. John B.…
