therapy is defined as “the use of basic learning techniques‚ such as conditioning‚ biofeedback‚ reinforcement‚ or aversion therapy‚ to alter human behavior.” Behavioral therapy is not only used in adults‚ but often in children and animals. It is helpful to people who have phobias‚ attention deficit hyperactive disorder (ADHD)‚ obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD)‚ and much more. Behavior modification is based on operant conditioning and classical condition. It can be aided by techniques such as implosion

and set out to further investigate the conditioning process. 4.Classical conditioning‚ where an original stimulus elicits an automatic unlearned response both stimulus and response happen naturally‚ they are unconditioned. * Then second neutral stimulus that never elicits the unconditional response by itself is introduced just before the presentation of the original stimulus. If the neutral or signaling stimulus were still there‚ we say that conditioning has taken place. * The arbitrary

Conditioned response (CR) In classical conditioning‚ a response elicited by some previously neutral stimulus that occurs as a result of pairing the neutral stimulus with an unconditioned stimulus. In classical conditioning‚ the conditioned response is the learned response to the previously neutral stimulus. For example‚

Behaviourist approach to development suggests that children learn through conditioning; new behaviours are learnt from past experiences and that all learning is influenced by rewards and punishments. Pavlov and Watson researched classical conditioning and found there was a link to rewards‚ punishments and behaviour. This research has enabled professionals to understand children’s phobias and obsessive compulsive disorders. Operant conditioning focuses on exploring the environment and learning the consequences

According to the behavioural model there are three ways in which we learn‚ these include classical + operant conditioning and social learning theory. Classical conditioning is learning by associated‚ this is when we create a new stimulus response link by associating one stimulus to a response. For example little albert was conditioned to have a phobia of white fluffy objects. Psychologists

The behaviourist approach in psychology states that all behaviour is learnt from experience and from the environment we are in. John Locke (1690) a psychologist described the mind as ‘Tabula Rasa’‚ believing when we are born our minds are completely blank slates‚ and that all of our behaviour is dependent upon our interactions and experiences with the environment.

Unconditioned Stimulus (UCS): Original stimulus that elicits the desired response before the conditioning process begins. Conditioned Stimulus (CS): New stimulus‚ in a conditioning process‚ that was originally ineffective in eliciting a given response but has become capable of doing so. Conditioned Response (CR): New or acquired response elicited by a stimulus not originally has become capable of doing so.
