Contextual Conditioning of Drug Tolerance and Drug Addiction Research on the contextual conditioning of drug tolerance shows it is an important factor in understanding drug addiction in humans. Context is a way of noting that the likelihood of a behavior or response depends on certain conditions. Contextual conditioning is said to occur when a person becomes conditioned not only to the drug but also to the environmental circumstances or cues in which the drug is taken. Studies have shown that tolerance

that occur close in time. When an organism learns to make associations‚ it is being conditioned. There are two types of conditioning. Operant conditioning is when an organism associates an action and the consequence of that action. It results in the organism adapting its behavior to maximize rewards and minimize punishment (Skinner). On the other hand‚ classical conditioning is a type of learning where an organism associates a certain stimulus and the response to it with a different stimulus.

2. A child is repeatedly exhibiting inappropriate and unwanted behaviour (e.g. hitting sibling)‚ which conditioning procedures could be used to most effectively stop this? Behaviours that produce favourable consequences are repeated and become habits‚ but those that produce unfavourable consequences tend not to recur (Ouellette and Wood‚ 1998 as cited in Martin et.al‚ 2006). Experience changes the probability of repeating certain behaviours indicating that learning involves adaptation. As time

How Classical and Operant Conditioning are Different Even though they have similarities‚ there are vast differences in how classical conditioning and operant conditioning are performed. First is how the learning is performed. In classical conditioning‚ it is the process by which a stimulus that does not produce an action is directly linked to one that does. Operant conditioning is the process by which the likelihood of a response is governed by the consequences of responding. The timing of when

Classical‚ operant conditioning and observation all begin with learning. Learning is the process of obtaining new and relatively enduring information or behaviors. This enables humans to adapt to our environments. The way humans learn is through associating naturally occurring events in sequence. Through association the process of learning is called conditioning. There are two types of conditioning called classical and operant. Classical conditioning occurs when we learn to link two stimuli

(Ricker‚ 2013). Learning can be achieved in a variety of approaches‚ classical‚ and operant conditioning as well as positive reinforcement. The classical and operant conditioning methods were derived by B. F. Skinner and Ivan Pavlov. Kowalski and Westen (2011) noted‚ “Classical conditioning as learning in which an environmental stimulus produces a response in an organism” (p. 164). Operant conditioning is “learning that results when an individual associates a response that occurs spontaneously

Learning refers to the process whereby experience produces a fairly lasting and adaptive change in behaviour (Passer et al.‚ 2009). Classical conditioning is the process of learning by association which signals the approaching arrival of a significant event. It involves pairing a neutral stimulus with an unconditioned stimulus (US) that will elicit an unconditioned response (UR). With repeated pairings‚ the neutral stimulus becomes a conditioned stimulus (CS) that evokes a conditioned response (CR)

B.F. Skinner is well known for his work on behaviorism and operant conditioning. He also once said that free will was an illusion. He firmly believes that everything we do is because of conditioning. He was inspired by Pavlov and Watson’s work so much that he went to Harvard for it. B.F. Skinner first majored in literature‚ but then gave up on writing after struggling for a while. He then went to Harvard to get his degree in psychology. Skinner eventually graduated and got a job at the University

Classical conditioning is a common form of associative learning that is used in everyday life. In some instances it is done unintentionally. One may not know how classical conditioning works or even the definition of it‚ however‚ there is a very good chance that they used it at one time or another to learn or to teach another person or animal. Classical conditioning is a process of learning. It occurs when a conditioned stimulus is joined with and then follows an unconditioned stimulus. This process
