Observational Learning Analysis

Think of a behavior of a family member, friend, co-worker or other significant person in your life. Using what you know about classical conditioning, operant conditioning and observational learning, examine how the person ‘learned’ this behavior and develop a plan using these same theories to change the behavior. Classical conditioning- My mom once became sick after eating barbecue. She suffered from food poisoning. Ever since, she sometimes gets nauseous or worries about if it is well prepared/cooked because of her previous experience. If she does not eat barbecue for a while, the stimulus can possibly go through the extinction process. Then she could possibly go through spontaneous recovery where she will not be as sick or scared over

The $100 acted as the reinforcer (positive reinforcer) so that my friend would make good grades. If he did not make good grades, he would not receive $100 dollars and would be punished. This acted as the negative reinforcer.
Observational learning- one of my nieces always wanted to learn how to play Candy Land. She observed all the other kids who knew how to play, and eventually she learned how to play the game. However, when my nephew showed her how to play, he taught her how to cheat. He acted as a negative influence and untaught the correct way to play Candy Land.
What are several real world examples of each type of learning? These may give you an idea: Why does our heart beat faster if music begins playing during a horror film? Why do small children begin to cry if the see a nurse or doctor when visiting a clinic? How do we know the appropriate clothes to wear for a job interview? In traffic - red, yellow, green? Cognitive learning- a child learns how to solve a puzzle. The child struggles and tries to piece the different pieces together for hours. Finally, the child learns where the pieces fit and solves the

Lasts a fraction of a second/2 seconds. Example- trying learn all of the numbers that make up pi. Most people only remember 3.14159, but cannot remember the rest. Short-term Memory- brief storage for information being used. Lasts less than 30 seconds. Example- when you receive an address and you quickly try to remember it until you can write it down. Long-term Memory- permanent storage. Lasts from minutes to a lifetime. Example- remembering events about your first trip to the dentist.
How do you prepare for an exam? Since reviewing information from your text on memory - do you feel you need to change your adjust or change your study habits? Which way does research support? I usually prepare for an exam by making flashcards and rereading my notes. I may need to adjust my study habits by using the chunking method. By doing this, it might help with memorization. I can create acronyms to remember the different types of learning. Research supports because researchers state that by associating information with a kind of meaning, you increase the capacity of memorization.
What brain structures are associated with memory? Why is long-term potentiation so important? What kinds of memory loss occur in amnesia and
