Different authors have different perspectives on classical conditioning‚ yet they agree on one aspect which is common‚ that it is a natural sequence of events; an unconscious‚ uncontrolled‚ and unlearned relationship. Comer (2004) defines classical conditioning as a process of learning by temporal association in which two events that repeatedly occur close together in time become fused in a person ’s mind and produce the same response. Conditioned stimulus or CS‚ comes to signal the occurrence of

Classical conditioning is defined as a simple type of learning behavior in which a neutral stimulus that would normally not elicit a response can evoke an involuntary response when paired with a stimulus that does elicit a response in an organism (Rathus‚ 112). The theory of classical conditioning accidentally discovered by Ivan Pavlov when he began researching dog’s salivation reflexes to meat powder stimuli. Classical conditioning consists of five main principles‚ the unconditioned stimulus (UCS)

a more specific kind of learning is conditioning. Conditioning is making an association between events that occur around a person’s environment. For instance‚ my negative reaction to my wife’s cooking is a conditioned response due to the experiences that I have had. Conditioning can be separated into two types; classical and operant. Classical conditioning was first described by a Russian physiologist Ivan Pavlov in the early 1900s. This type of conditioning suggests that a stimulus requires the

Classical conditioning is an association between two stimuli; It is what proceeds the response. The two stimuli in my experiment was the ringing of the bell and the on and off of the light switch performed in a dark room. During my experiment I rang the bell and then immediately turned off the lights. I remained in the dark for fifteen seconds then turned the light back on. I left the light on for fifteen seconds‚ and would monitor my pupils in the mirror then ring the bell and would simultaneously

Phobias and Addictions Classical and operant conditioning play a large part in how people learn both good bad habits. Phobias and addictions are just two of the negative behaviors learned or triggered by one of these behaviors. Classical conditioning is a type of learning discovered by Ivan Pavlov. He found that he could use a conditional or neutral stimulus to elicit an unconditioned response. Pavlov proved this theory with both a dog and a child. Ivan first measured the amount of saliva produced

Classical Conditioning Process For most of the world the words “classical conditioning” produce one common name‚ Ivan Pavlov. According to Harris (2006)‚ “Pavlovian conditioning has come to be viewed as the cardinal example of associative learning—the process by which an organ- ism represents the correlations between the events it experience” (p. 584). Associative learning is a simple name of classical learning‚ which further implies the association of stimuli to engage in learning or conditioning

ssical condir=tioningu03d1 Classical Conditioning and Ethics What can classical conditioning theory teach us about both developing and alleviating fears and phobias? Our textbook describes phobia as being "an excessive and intense fear‚ usually of a specific object or situation‚..." (Terry‚ pg.77‚ 2009). The classical conditioning theory teaches us several different aspects about phobias; including how phobias develop and how to treat phobias‚ thus‚ alleviating fears altogether. Many behaviorists

Classical Conditioning Experiment Hypothesis: If the spoon taps the glass of water after several trials of chiming and switching off the light‚ then the participant’s pupils should dilate to the chime of the glass without turning off the light. Procedure: First‚ I sat on the bathroom counter with my sister and had a spoon and a glass of water. The light switch was nearby and the room was dimly lit. Then‚ I turned off the light to see how much her eyes would dilate under normal conditions. After
