Recommended: Introduction to classical conditioning

I find it very irritating when my best friend likes a television show or song that I do not like. This is why I am going to create and preform a Classical Conditioning experiment on my good friend Sarah Garcia. This experiment will include the following terms: Unconditioned Stimulus, Unconditioned Response, Neutral Stimulus, Conditioned Stimulus, and Conditioned Response. I will be using these five terms to explain my Classical Conditioning experiment that I have created for Sarah. I plan on making her hate the song “Can’t Feel My Face”, by The Hills because it is one of her favorite songs and I do not like it. Sarah will listen to this song while we are studying, doing homework, and even when we are playing golf. I am excited for the moment when Sarah will no longer listen to the song because of this Classical …show more content…

Therefore, a human or animal will forget about the old stimulus and become attached to the new stimulus. The terms: Unconditioned Stimulus, Unconditioned Response, Neutral Stimulus, Conditioned Stimulus, and Conditioned Response are key when explaining the process of Classical Conditioning. A Unconditioned Stimulus is when a stimulus will lead to a natural response without any training needed. A Unconditioned Response is a natural and automatic response brought up by the Unconditioned Stimulus. A Neutral Stimulus is when something elicits no response at first. For example, a specific object will have no meaning before the experiment but once the experiment is undergo, the object will take on a different role than before. A Conditioned Stimulus is a stimulus that at first had no meaning, but when associated with the Unconditioned Stimulus it will eventually generate a Conditioned Response. A Conditioned Response will cause a natural and automatic response towards the Neutral Stimulus because the person was trained to react that

  • An Operant Conditioning In Antonio's Case

    554 Words  | 2 Pages

    When Antonio was seven years old, he had a very bad flu and was hospitalized. He was able to recover without complications, but he noticed that whenever he drove by the hospital he was treated at that he would start to feel sick to his stomach.Unconditioned stimulus in Antonio's case was initially the hospital. The unconditioned response to being at the hospital was he didn't feel well. Then the Hospital became the conditioned response by making Antonio feel sick when he had to visit or drive by the hospital. It is because he associated the hospital (CS) with feeling ill. The hospital where he was treated for the sickness is the conditioned stimulus (CS), causing him to remember what occurred and inducing his stomach to hurt (CR) which is an conditioned response. This is an example of classical

  • Wilhelm Wuundt And B. Skinner's Differences: The Birth Of Psychology

    Classical Conditioning was a phenomenon that a man named Ivan Pavlov explored in the twentieth-century. His work laid the foundation for many other psychologists such as John Watson. Pavlov’s idea came when he seized on an incidental observation. He noticed putting food in a dogs mouth caused salvation. However, the dog not only salivated to the food it began to also salivate to mere sight of the food, or the food dish. He began experimenting; first he slid the food presented the food by sliding the food bowl and blowing meat powder into the dogs mouth at the same exact moment. They paired it with a neutral stimuli event the dog could see but did not associate it with food (Myers, 2014, p.256). Food in the mouth automatically, unconditionally triggers the salivary reflex. Pavlov called drooling the unconditioned response and the food the unconditioned stimulus. Salvation in response to a tone is learned, it is conditioned upon the dogs associating the tone with the food it is called conditioned response (Myers, 2014, p.256). The stimulus that used to be neutral is the conditioned stimulus. I found it interesting and relating to everyday life because my dog often does the same. We keep his food in the garage so opening the garage door would be the conditioned stimulus. As soon as the garage door opens my dog begins to salivate which is the conditioned response. Whereas,

    The unconditioned stimulus is the old spicy guy. It is when unconditioned stimulus triggers a response. When women see their commercial it sends a feeling of arousal, which lead to conditioned stimulus of desiring the product. The conditioned stimulus would be the old spice product because that is the kind of stimulus that is occasion for a conditioned response, which is advertisement and response campaign. Unconditioned response would be desire for one’s significant other to look and smell like the old spice guy. That would be unconditioned response because the behavior is natural, a...

    In the case study, Jim Colbert, a third grade teacher, struggles to help a boy named Carlos. This Public School 111 was located in a metropolitan, run down neighborhood. The school was surrounded by drug dealers and trash. However, the inside of the school was bright and welcoming. Here the students were placed according to their abilities, and Jim had a 3-A class for the high achieving students. Jim had a routine that he followed every day. He would take the learning and apply it to the student’s lives with practical examples. To begin the day Jim would go through the homework with the students, and here he began to notice that Carlos was misspelling many of his words. Carlos comprehended the readings, but he was behind in his spelling. Jim talked with the other third grade teacher, Paul, about Carlos. Then, he talked to Carlos about the problem, asking him if he could get help at home. Here Jim discovered that Carlos would get little to no help at home. Jim sent home a dictionary with Carlos so that he could check his spelling, and he saw

    During this stage a stimulus which produces no response (i.e. neutral) is associated with the unconditioned stimulus at which point it now becomes known as the conditioned stimulus (CS). Often during this stage the US must be associated with the CS on a number of occasions, or trials, for learning to take place.

    The two main forms of conditioning, are classical conditioning (learning by association), and operant condition (learning from consequences).Classical conditioning, is the learning process in which one is conditioned (learns) to respond to a neutral stimulus as if it were a meaningful stimulus. In operant conditioning, learning occurs through associations made between a behavior and the consequence that follows.

    2. Unconditioned Response (UCR) which is A reflexive action produced naturally by the UCS (Nausea) 3. Neutral Stimulus which is a stimulus that does not initially elicit a response (The smell) 4. Conditioned Stimulus (CS) which Initially the neutral stimulus, does not normally produce a UCR. Through repeated association with the UCS, the CS produces a very similar response and finally 5. Conditioned Response (CR) which is the learned response to the CS (Me getting nausea with just the smell of the pasta salad). Before learning, the pasta is a uncontrolled stimulus which produced nausea and vomiting which is considered a UCR. The smell was neutral which elicit no response, during the transition the pasta smell became a controlled stimulus, the pasta was uncontrolled stimulus and the nausea becomes a UCR at the end the smell changed from a neutral position to a controlled stimulus that elicit nausea which now

    The other aspect in classical conditioning is extinction, which occurs when a conditioned stimulus is no longer paired with an unconditioned stimulus. For example, when the smell of tobacco that was initially paired with having a few puffs is now present, but the individual is not provided with the cigarette to get the puffs, when this is done for a long time the smell no longer produce the craving in the individual to have the puff. The extinction of the learnt behavior of smoking can be said to have occurred (Cherry, 2011).

    Classical conditioning is a technique of learning that occurs when an unconditional stimulus is paired with a conditional stimulus. The unconditional stimulus is biologically potent, the conditional stimulus is neutral (Kalat, 2011). Example of each is taste of food and sound of tuning fork respectively. After repeated pairing, the organism exhibits a conditional response to the conditional stimulus. The conditional response is similar to the unconditioned response though it is relatively impermanent and is acquired through experience (Kalat, 2011).

    I. Introduction of classical conditioning Classical conditioning also called as Pavlovian conditioning or respondent conditioning. It is a kind of learning a new behavior through association that when a conditioned stimulus (CS) is paired with an unconditioned stimulus (US) and evokes a conditioned response (CR). It also is a learning process that occurs through associations between an environmental stimulus and a naturally occurring stimulus (Cherry, 2014). Classical conditioning has much strength such as can help to explain all aspects of human behavior and many of advertisers will use classical conditioning to advertise their produces, however it also have some weaknesses such as all classical conditioning responses must involve a reflex and classical conditioning is a completely physical process, learning is not important as reflected in scenario. This paper will talk about the strengths and the weaknesses of classical conditioning theory followed by a brief description of the scenario and the strengths and weaknesses of applying classical conditioning on it.

  • The Preparatory-Response Model by Ivan Pavlov

    The preparatory-response model was first proposed by Pavlov and is a type of classical conditioning. Pavlov suggested that a conditioned stimulus can act as a substitute for an unconditioned stimulus. An example of the preparatory-response theory involves cases in which conditioning eventually results in a conditioned response that appears to be opposite of the original unconditioned response. This type of preparatory response is called a compensatory response and is easily observed in habitual drug users. The user can learn to associate cues from the environment that are commonly present when using a drug the body begins to prepare itself for the effect.

    When a friend of mine was young and in the fifth grade he was involved in a play. He was given the role of Abraham Lincoln. When it was his turn to speak his voice broke, he forgot parts of his lines and he felt ashamed and like a failure. Ever since then, he couldn’t bring himself to get on stage and speak to an audience. The neutral stimulus is the stage for the play. The unconditional stimulus was the shame and feelings of failure. The unconditioned response was fear and anxiety. After pairing the neutral stimulus with feelings of shame and failure, my friend generalized his conditioned response (fear and anxiety) to the stage for the play, now the conditioned stimulus.

    Corsini (1994) defines classical conditioning is the idea that through repeated enforcement of an idea that a person will respond to a stimuli in a very different way than without the influence of classical conditioning. “The result of classical conditioning is known as conditioned response.” (1994 pg237) The first psychologist to study this theory was Ivan Pavlov in 1904. A person’s natural response to stimuli is known as an unconditioned response, or a response that had zero influence from an outside source.
