Use classical conditioning principles to explain the development of phobias‚ and describe how systematic desensitisation can be used to overcome fears and phobias. Illustrate with an example/s Classical conditioning is a wonderful form of therapy which involves studying the condition that predicts that a spesific event will occur. Humans acquire a lot of their behavior through classical conditioning. Classical conditioning involves different learning principles‚ which include: acquisition‚ extinction

In his experiment‚ he began to ring a bell every time the dogs were fed. If the bell was rung with their meal‚ the dogs learnt to associate the sound of the bell with food. After a while‚ the sound of the bell made the dogs respond by drooling. John Watson later identified this behavior to be known as Classical Conditioning‚ which explains the emotional responses to speech and actions to patterns of stimulus and response. The

The study of behaviourism‚ as Watson outlined was the idea: of only focusing on physical behaviour Watson’s study was first developed by Pavlov called classical conditioning: Pavlov found that dogs salivate when they see food and attempted to provoke salivation with an alternative stimulus. To achieve this Pavlov sounded a bell whenever food was presented. Later the bell became a trigger for the dog and even if there were no food present the dog would still salivate. Pavlov found that for the associations

\ Psychology is a subject with a lot of different views and theories. Every psychologist has his own theories about how a human develops mentally‚ physically and‚ emotionally from childhood to adulthood. I would like to discuss three psychologists Ivan Pavlov and his theory of classical conditioning‚ Jean Piaget’s cognitive theory and‚ Albert Bandura and his social cognitive theory. These developmental theories have similarities and differences which I will be discussing further in this paper

“Little Albert” experiment. This experiment was conducted to test the fear response in humans. The experiment started off by introducing Albert to several animals‚ a white rat‚ monkey‚ bunny and a dog (Creelan). When Albert started to play with the rat‚ Watson banged a hammer on a metal pipe scaring Albert causing him to cry. Over time the sight of the rat without the banging of the hammer caused Albert to cry. Albert associated the loud scary noise to touching the rat‚ thus being successfully conditioned

Ivan Petrovich Pavlov (1849-1936) is one of the most famous men in the field of psychology known. Pavlov was a behaviorist‚ which means that his theories focused on observable behavior‚ because he believed behavior can be measured and thought cannot be measured. He believed that the human mind should be interpreted as a black box that cannot be opened. Only what goes in the box and what comes out can be known. Scientific evidence is crucial in his theory. He has contributed so much to the field

unconditioned stimulus. However‚ when a conditioned stimulus is presented alone‚ it no longer predicts the coming of the unconditioned stimulus hence the conditioned responding gradually stops. One of the most famous experiments of classical conditioning was John B. Watson’s experiment in which a fear response was conditioned in a young boy known as Little Albert. The child initially showed no fear of a white rat so it was a neutral stimulus‚ but however what did startle him and cause him to be afraid was if
