Cue Reactivity Assessment

159 Words1 Page

Following this short period of exercise, all groups (including the passive control group) were re-tested (QSU-Brief). The tests administered included a cortisol measurement, before and immediately after as well as 25 minutes after the workout was completed. The test required a saliva sample, in which the participant would need to masticate a cotton roll for approximately one minute. The researchers also administered the cue reactivity assessment. This assessment is tested for the purposes of measuring the physiological response to a neutral stimulus and a conditioned stimulus. The neutral stimulus was presented as tape and a stapler, and the conditioned stimulus was presented as the participants’ personal lit brand of cigarette, each for 60

  • The Little Albert Experiment

    The major key findings that were discovered in this study include the idea that it is possible that after being conditioned to react to a certain stimulus, the subject could possibly begin to generalize different objects that may cause the subject to react the same way towards the generalized stimuli as the subject did to the original stimulus. Another finding is that classical conditioning is something that could potentially have a long lasting effect on someone, especially if the subject formed a generalization to the original stimulus. The researchers felt that because of the lack of experimental evidence provided about the subject before this experiment prompted them to research it

    The pound of my heart and the gasps for oxygen in the last stretch of a cross country race demonstrate my body’s resilience in a strenuous situation. All of my body systems work tirelessly together in order to keep my feet moving across the finish line. The countless hours of preparation beforehand have been to train and prepare these systems to power me through a race, even when I want to give up. Much like a cross country race, over the semester I have learned that hard work beforehand pays off. The more I studied and prepared for tests, the better I would do.

    I could play with the rubber band, put it on my wrist, pull it, do anything with it and it wouldn't generate any response or any reflexes. Now if I paired the rubber band with an object like a pencil, pen, etc. and I placed the rubber band on the tip of each as I have done when I was a kid getting ready to aim and hit another kid with the rubber band and it back fired and hit me in the face, that is considered a conditioned stimulus because

  • Overtraining In Sports Essay

    846 Words  | 4 Pages

    Prior research has determined, according to Yelverton, that athletes are at an increased chance to burnout if they are participating in a sport for reasons other than sport attraction. In other words, if athletes are pushed to achieve at a high level in activities they present no interest in, burnouts to those individuals seem to increase by chance. The well known theory, and common definition proposed by numerous doctors to help describe stressors athletes face, is in fact, known as a “burnout,” or “a response by an athlete to chronic stress in which he or she ceases to participate in a previously enjoyable activity, withdrawing from the sport because they perceive it is not possible to meet the physical and psychological demands of the sport” (Lindsey Barton Straus, JD 1). Research has provided critical information on the stresses athletes endure on a daily basis. If an athlete is in a stressful situation, subsequently, their athletic performance will become affected (Mackenzie 3).

    As contained in the guidelines of the assignment I must participate in the activity for 30 minutes and record my results. For this, I decided to go through a chest workout which is my favorite weight training workout. Like any other workout, I take about 10-15 minutes to properly warm up by doing what 's called a dynamic warm-up. A dynamic warm-up gets me focused on what 's to come and it also helps mitigate the risk of injury while lifting. Before this workout, I was very stressed about all of the studying I have to do before the term is over.

  • Control Variables

    Three participants (1 in RM group and 2 in R group) were excluded from all further analyses as they exhibited levels of cortisol that were more than 3 SD higher than the average. The TSST triggered substantial upsurges in salivary cortisol in all groups over the course of the study. Excluding the control variables, the ANOVA of the measurements that were repeatedly taken during the experiment displayed no major group differences. When the control variables (BDI, ERQ, STAI-trait, TICS) were incorporated, levels of cortisol fluctuated considerably between groups, with maximum values in the RM and lowermost values in the SW see (Figure 3) [1]. Figure 3.

    When athletes focus on their surroundings such as a crowd or the winning shot, it seems to interrupt the nature that they have learned for the skill. When an athlete chokes, they do not perform up to their full potential. They tested this in three separate experiments. The focus was on motor performance of skilled athletes in 3 sports: penalty shots in soccer, a number of kicks in tae kwon do, and serves in badminton. There were pretests in each experiment that was free of any kind of pressure.

  • Unconditioned Response

    318 Words  | 2 Pages

    an unconditioned stimulus we produce an unconditioned response. In this case, an unconditioned stimulus is a stimulus that produces a response in which no learning was required (i.e. food), and an unconditioned response is an innate reflex that we have (i.e. salivating) (Clark, 2004). When conditioning occurs, a neutral stimulus (a stimulus that does not produce a response) is accompanied by an unconditioned stimulus which then becomes a conditioned stimulus (Clark, 2004). After the conditioning is finished, the conditioned stimulus creates a conditioned response due to the association between the conditioned stimulus and unconditioned stimulus (Clark, 2004).

    Goal directed system involves learning the relationship between an action and the outcome of that action. They are sensitive to changes in the goal value. Habit system involves learning the association between stimulus and response without any link to the behaviour. It is independent of the current value of the goal (Balleine and Dickinson, 1991; Schwabe and Wolf, 2011). In order to differentiate between habitual and goal-directed behaviour in the lab, behavioural tests were developed.

    The first measure "Workout Motivation" was an 18 item, 5-point Likert scale measure designed for this study. The points ranged from 1 (Strongly Disagree) to 5 (Strongly Agree). Each item was statements that participants either agreed or disagreed to base on how the statement relates to them. This measure assessed personal motivation for working out, with statements that were either considered internal motivation or external motivation. Some examples of the items include whether a person has a preference for either working out at home or the gym, whether they work out for their health or they work out due to social pressure.
