Pavlov Classical Conditioning

402 Words2 Pages

In this cartoon, Pavlov is ringing a bell to a cat who is thinking "dream on, buddy". Pavlov, a behavioral psychologist, realized that dogs salivate when food is put in their mouth. Realizing the implications this could have, he began experimenting with when the dog would begin to salivate and what would cause it to. In order to figure this out, Pavlov sounded a tone and then immediately gave them food. After several pairings of the tone and the food, the dogs began to salivate on hearing the tone alone. This discovery founded the basis of classical conditioning, a type of learning in which one pairs a stimuli with a certain response. In classical conditioning, you have an unconditioned stimulus (the food), a neutral stimulus (the bell), an

    Chapter 6 Question E In classical conditioning, whether we are human beings or animals, our first learning is acquisition. Classical conditioning happens upon the appearance of 2 stimuli put together, this occurs effortlessly and unconsciously. Acquisition is the link of the unconditional stimulus and a conditioned stimulus. US, stimulus that produces a reply without previous knowledge.

    1.Classical conditioning is a learning process first discovered by the Russian physiologist Ivan Petrovich Pavlov in the early 1900s. The theory of Classical Conditioning deals with the learning process leading us to gain a new behavior via the process of association. Internal mental thoughts and brain mechanisms play a huge role in associative learning. Classical Conditioning works by pairing involuntary response with stimulus. After which, unconditioned response becomes conditioned response.

    He wanted to test the notion that by following the principles of the procedure now known as "classical conditioning", he could use this unconditioned response to condition a child to fear a distinctive stimulus that normally would not be feared by a child (in this case, furry objects). Method Edit The aim of Watson and Rayner was to condition a phobia in an emotionally stable child.[1] For this study they chose a nine-month old infant from a hospital referred to as "Albert" for the experiment.[2] Watson followed the procedures which Pavlov had used in his experiments with dogs.[3] Before the experiment, Albert was given a battery of baseline emotional tests: the infant was exposed, briefly and for the first time, to a white rat, a rabbit, a dog, a monkey, masks (with and without hair), cotton, wool, burning newspapers, and other stimuli.

    While studying dog’s responses and salivation, Pavlov discovered the first basic laws of learning and conditioning. He realized that every time a lab assistant brought a bowl of food into the dog’s presents, the dog would salivate. Then he realized they hadn’t intentionally salivated, rather it was an unconditional response. He then realized the dog would associate objects with the food, like the lab assistant (who the dog did not respond to intentionally). In the beginning the assistant was the neutral stimulus (produces no specific response).

    Conditioning is the backbone of this structured society. No free thought means no retaliation, and conditioning is their tactic to guarantee a controlled society. “Pavlovian conditioning” comes from Ivan Pavlov’s ideas that animals could be taught actions through punishment and reward. Brave New World applies this concept to humans, using conditioning to alter the minds of the children in their society. At the Conditioning Centre, children are taught to hate roses and books by receiving electric shocks when they touch them.

    This essay hopes to shed light on the development of phobias with emphasis on classical conditioning principles. This essay will also describe how systematic desensitisation as an exposure therapy can be used to overcome fears and phobias. Phobias in their most basic forms are the results of a traumatic experience or a learned conditioned reaction from key figures in a person's formative years. Classical Conditioning is crucial when discussing phobias as it shows us why a person may react to a contextually unrelated or related object. At its simplest, Classical Conditioning is "A type of learning in which one learns to link two or more stimuli and anticipate events", it allows us to map out a person's responses and thus form links between

    Thus, while the metronome itself is not used to serve the food or aid in its preparation; the dog makes a connection between the tone and the food that causes an involuntary response of salivation when the tone is sounded. One important caveat to Pavlov’s research was that he also discovered that a conditioned reflex would be repressed if the stimulus were not supported with regularity. For instance, if the metronome rings and there is not food served with it, over time the dog stopped salivating when hearing the

Operant conditioning determinants’ are reinforce, nature response and time interval between response and reinforcement. On the other hand, classical conditioning is a learning way that connects between two stimuli which produce natural response. It measures one stimulus that

    Link to reality: Both Skinner’s theory of operant conditioning and Pavlov’s theory of classical conditioning can be used every day in an ECCE setting. Today many school systems and childhood authorities follow Skinner’s and Pavlov’s theory by using the approach of positive reinforcement. This encourages good behaviour in the child making the behaviour more likely to be repeated again as they are rewarded and praised for their efforts in reading, writing and general learning. It is important that children’s efforts in a learning setting are rewarded as this will encourage the child to perform to the best of their ability.

    Watson proposed that the process of classical conditioning (based on Pavlov’s observations) was able to explain all aspects of human psychology. The theory of classical conditioning involves learning a new behavior through a process of association. Meaning that two stimuli are linked together to create a newly learned response. There are three stages of classical conditioning, before conditioning, during conditioning and after conditioning (Mc Leod, 2014). Watson’s theory also involved the conditioning of emotions.

Through operant conditioning, an association is made between a behavior and a consequence for that behavior” (Kendra Cherry). B.F.
