Florida Sahay Professor Griffin Psychology 1101 Fall 2009 The Conditioning Process It was raining when Sarah was driving home from work. Both she and the driver of the car in front of her were speeding. The car in front of her had immediately braked. There was not enough distance between that car and her own car to safely slow to a stop‚ so she had quickly switched lanes to avoid a car accident. Instead‚ the slick pavement caused her car to swerve out of control. When her car finally

Conditioning and Learning From the moment any living being is born to the moment it dies‚ they are constantly learning. Learning is a change in behavior based on previous experiences. It may involve processing and interpreting many different types of information. Learning functions are performed by different brain learning processes‚ which depend on the dynamic mental capacities of the learning subject. There are three main forms of learning for the human mind: classical conditioning‚ operant conditioning

‘Classical conditioning provides us with a way to learn cause and effect relations between environmental events’ (Martin‚ Carlson and Buskist‚ 2010‚ pg 259). Classical conditioning is learning by association and is the main way in which we develop phobias. The main type being specific phobias which are generally influenced by genetics or a traumatic childhood event. There are three basic principles off classical conditioning which are important to be aware of when researching the development of phobias:

Classical conditioning is an association between two stimuli; It is what proceeds the response. The two stimuli in my experiment was the ringing of the bell and the on and off of the light switch performed in a dark room. During my experiment I rang the bell and then immediately turned off the lights. I remained in the dark for fifteen seconds then turned the light back on. I left the light on for fifteen seconds‚ and would monitor my pupils in the mirror then ring the bell and would simultaneously

Operant conditioning was a term used by Burrhus Frederic Skinner to describe the effects positive and negative consequences of a behavior have on the future occurrence of that behavior (Levine‚ 1999). Skinner believed that all behaviors are the result of reinforcement. Operant conditioning functions under the idea that for each action there is a reaction‚ those reactions are the reinforcements that increase or decrease behavior. There are four types of operant conditioning‚ positive reinforcement

yellow you should slow down. These are all elicit reactions to a color that is familiar to you when you are driving. This type of learning is called classical conditioning. Classical conditioning takes a great part in structures of society and all individuals encounter it at some point in their lives. To better understand how classical conditioning relates to our lives we first must define it. Once defined‚ it will be easier to relate to our lives‚ as I will be doing in this paper. It is important to
