The cartoon above shows a very comical understanding of Ivan Pavlov’s Classical Conditioning. In the cartoon the dog is seeing a psychiatrist in order to understand why instead of receiving the stimulus there is bell being rung. This demonstrates what we have learned about classical conditioning. In order to contain a conditioned response, the neutral stimulus and unconditioned stimulus need to combine. In the cartoon’s case when a dog is presented with food he salivates, however when combined with a bell noise right before he is given food he still salivates, even after the food is taken away. Just hearing the sound of the bell leads makes the dog salivate. This emphasizes Pavlov’s basic form of learning in his theory done about Classical Conditioning.
African People & Culture To the Ashanti, the family and the mother’s clan are most important. A child is said to inherit the father’s soul or spirit and from the mother a child receives flesh and blood (mogya). This relates them more closely to the mother’s clan. The Ashanti live in an extended family. The family lives in various homes or huts that are set up around a courtyard. The head of the household is usually the oldest brother that lives there. He is chosen by the elders. He is called either Father or Housefather and is obeyed by everyone. Boys are trained by their fathers at the age of eight and nine. They are taught a skill of the fathers' choice. The father is also responsible for paying for school. Boys are taught to use the talking drums by their mothers' brother. Talking drums are used for learning the Ashanti language and spreading news and are also used in ceremonies. The talking drums are important to the Ashanti and there are very important rituals involved in them. Girls are taught cooking and housekeeping skills by their mothers. They also work the fields and bring in necessary items, such as water, for the group.
