2. Psychological Factors and Substance Misuse: How do the ideas of Classical Conditioning and Operant Conditioning explain why someone might misuse drugs? How can these theories be applied to the treatment of substance misuse? (1500 words) Learning (conditioning) is the process that eventually leads to relative permanent change in behavior or training. Some things are innate - we are born with the knowledge but others must be acquired actively. Thus‚ it is ‘an adaptive process in which the tendency

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

Operant Conditioning Paper Operant conditioning relies on the consequences of an exhibited behavior‚ and the impact the behavior has on certain learning experiences. This type of conditioning requires stimuli and reinforcers (both positive and negative) (Olsen & Hergenhahn‚ 2009). Along with using punishments that exhibit both positive and negative influences‚ both of which contribute to behavior and learning. Operant conditioning can be observed on a daily basis. It is a typical form of learning

The exact cause of Alzheimer disease is unknown‚ but scientists have proven that there is a strong link between Alzheimer disease and some factors such as genetic‚ environmental‚ and life style factors. Alzheimer disease not only affects the cognitive ability of the patients‚ but also it has behavioural and psychiatric impacts on the patients. In addition‚ family members and friends of the patients would be also affected. Since Alzheimer disease gradually get worse over time‚ damaged brain could

Operant Conditioning Paper PSY 390 November 11‚ 2013 Operant Conditioning “Operant conditioning is a theory of learning that generally follows “Thorndyke’s Law of Effect”. This law states that behaviors that are positively reinforced will become more likely to occur and behaviors that are negatively reinforced will become less likely to occur.” (Johnson‚ D. 1999). Skinner referred to operant conditioning as being the way animals learn. In general there are

experiences (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

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

our observable behavior (aka our response). When it comes to the behavioral perspective‚ there are two types of conditioning: (1) classical conditioning and (2) operant conditioning. Classical conditioning is a process in learning by association and determining what our behavior is. Operant conditioning is the process of learning by consequence and rewards. I believe operant conditioning is seen more commonly today with the parenting style for kids and the obedience process of animals. If a child

Skinner defined the manner in which one could use reinforcement to increase the chances that mice would repeatedly perform the same behavior over
