Service dogs have one purpose. That purpose is to protect and help their owner in day to day tasks that they may not be able to do with impairments. Having a hearing impairment comes with a lot of difficulties. That is why dogs like Haven are here to help. Service dogs can be found anywhere and everywhere - even in Groom, Texas. Groom ISD got the opportunity to have a service dog, owner and trainer visit and talk to the Small Animal Management class about the-behind-the-scenes life of a…

The delayed alternation version of the T-maze is designed to test spatial working memory will be used. In this task, there are 2 runs per trial. On the first, or sample run, the mouse is placed in the start arm of the T-maze and allowed to enter a goal arm. The mouse is then removed from the maze for a specified delay period. After the delay, the mouse is returned for the choice run, and will typically choose the alternate arm of the T. The Novel Object Recognition task will be used to evaluate…

During this lab report, we observed the anatomy of a rat. Our task was to dissect a rat and identify its internal organs along with the function of those organs. We carefully removed 10 organs from our rat to take notes on. What we noticed was the homologous structures of the rats were closely related to our own body composition. Their internal organs were positioned in close relation to where ours takes shape, and they looked immensely similar. In addition to their location and size, the rat's…

N.B. F. Skinner -coined the term operant conditioning; it signifies roughly transmuting of comportment by the utilization of reinforcement which is given after the desired replication. Skinner identified three types of replications or operant that can follow comportment. O.Operant conditioning -is a form of cognition. In it, an individual changes its comportment because of the consequences of the deportment. The…

control for example, if a child see's a human being is walking with their dog they with start to see some differences in features and hear the human call this strange being a dog. Then through stimulus generalization which is "the tendency for an operant response to be emitted in the presence of a stimulus that is similar to an SD" (Page 322) the child will be began to have more engagements with the stimulus such as, say the child's parents purchase a dog for her. During this process the child…

If I were to set up a learning experiment, I would train my dog to associate a whistle sound with a treat. This would hopefully teach her to react to a whistling sound and can them be used to get her attention. To accomplish this, I’d reward her with a treat and praise after I whistle. I would use her natural response of salivation to food and combine it with a stimulus, a whistle sound, in order to achieve my goal. I would do this daily in the morning and use positive reinforcement such as food…

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…

assume that sets of symptoms reflect single underlying causes. Behaviorism assumes that all behavior is learnt from the environment and symptoms are acquired through classical conditioning and operant conditioning. Classical conditioning involves learning by association and is usually the cause of most phobias. Operant conditioning involves learning by reinforcement (e.g. rewards) and punishment, and can explain abnormal behavior should as eating disorders. Consequently, if a behavior is learnt,…

Erinn Payne Pavlov’s Classical Conditioning Classical conditioning refers to a kind of learning in which a stimulus obtains the ability to evoke a response which was initially evoked by a different stimulus (Weiten, 2010, p. 225). Classical conditioning is a learning theory developed by Ivan Pavlov (Olson & Hergenhahn, 2009, p.30), a Russian physiologist, in about 1900 (Weiten, 2010, p. 225) when he made an accidental discovery upon noticing that dogs salivate at the sight of food during his…
