Watson famous “Little Alert Experiment” was best known as a case study showing and proving evidence of classical conditioning and also an example of stimulus generalization. It was carried out by John B. Watson and his graduate student‚ Rosalie Rayner‚ at Johns Hopkins University and its’ first findings were published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology.

through association when a neutral conditioned stimulus is paired with an unconditioned stimulus that naturally produces an emotional response” (Franzoi 2010‚p.157). Classical Conditioning is the affective component of attitudes. An example of classical conditioning would be “the soft click of the switch that turns on a noisy bathroom fan would have little effect on your behavior. After the click a conditioned has been paired with a loud noise an unconditioned on several occasions you might begin to

of dogs. During this study Ivan discovered that dogs will most often salivate when presented with food‚ which is known as a simple reflex (Kowalski & Westen‚ 2011‚ Chapter 5). Moreover‚ he noticed that when a dog was presented or introduced to a stimulus such as a ringing bell simultaneously with being fed‚ the dog would begin to salivate when he heard the bell even if food was not present when the bell was rang (Kowalski & Westen‚ 2011‚ Chapter 5). This formed the conclusion‚ that the dog had associated

that became his natural reaction. Observational learning is the unconditioned stimulus. This is because he watched what his family did and then started to react in the same manner. Whenever his family would freak out he would start to freak out because he thought it was what he was supposed to do. So over time it just became habit for him to be afraid of bugs. The conditioned stimulus was at the sight of the insect. The unconditioned response was for him to not have fearful reactions to the bugs.

Conditioning: 1. Reinforcement – conditioned reflex becomes fixed by providing the conditioned stimulus and following it repeatedly with unconditioned stimulus and response at timed intervals. 2. Extinction – Occurs when the reinforcement is discontinued and the conditioned stimulus is presented alone. 3. Generalization – conditioned reflex evoked to one stimulus and can be enticed by another stimulus dis-similar to the first. 4. Differentiation – initial generalization is overcome by method

fork. In classical conditioning‚ a subject learns to associate one stimulus with another. The subject learns that the first stimulus is a cue for the second stimulus. In other words‚ the meat powder is an unconditioned stimulus and the salivation is the unconditioned response. The tuning fork is a neutral stimulus until the dog learns to associate the tuning fork with food. Then the tuning fork becomes a conditioned stimulus which produces the conditioned response of salivation after repeated

Phobias and Addictions Mary E. Aikens Psy 300 September 26‚ 2010 Richard Alpert Phobias and Addictions Classical and Operant conditioning are ways in which a person learns. Classical conditioning is a learned response and operant conditioning is a response through the environment. Phobias can develop through learning. Classical conditioning can teach a person to fear‚ such as a small child can learn to fear needles because of immunization injections received in a doctor’s office or clinic

fork and recording a dog’s response. There was no salivation. At this point‚ the sound of the tuning fork was a neutral stimulus because it brought forth no salivation. Then Pavlov fed the dog. The response was salivation. The food was an unconditioned stimulus (US) because no prior training or conditioning was establish the natural connection. The salivation was an unconditioned response (UR) because it occurred automatically-no conditioning required. Using the food‚ the salivation‚ a tuning fork
