1. Classical Conditioning- “allows preparation for forthcoming events” (Lieberman, D.A. (2012) A. Learned Reflexive Response - “Many phobias begin after a person has had a negative experience with the fear object.” (What is a Conditioned Response~About.com) B. Learning is a change in behavior due to the organism 's experience with the environment. The simplest form of learning is conditioning, which can be reduced to a basic reflex relationship between stimulus, organism, and response. (T.L. Brink (2008)
2. Operant Conditioning- “When an important event follows a response rather than a stimulus, the result is often a change in the response’s probability” (Lieberman, D.A. (2012) A. An example of operant conditioning is the “Beyond Scared Straight” program done here in the states “from 78 to present”. (NISSEN, L., 2011)
3. Neobehaviorism- “A variant of behaviorism that is willing to consider internal states that cannot be observed directly, provided that any theories postulating such states leads to testable predictions about visible behavior.” (Lieberman, D.A. (2012) A. “Behaviorism arose out of a growing revulsion with the seemingly endless bickering of the introspectionists, with each observer studying his or her own private world and no two observers able to agree.” (Lieberman, D.A. (2012) B. “Mediational neobehaviorism and cognitive psychology share the strategy of inferential theory; that is, making inferences regarding hypothetical, internal processes that are said to explain the environment–behavior interactions under empirical study.” (Leigland, S. 2009)
