In classical conditioning people learn to associate two stimuli when they occur together‚ such that the response originally elicited by one stimulus is transferred to another. The person

Low Energy Nuclear Reaction (LENR) is the abbreviation for an energy nuclear reaction that has low energy‚ in which the low energy nuclear reactions take place in the experiments such as room temperature that is close. They make nuclear-scale energy and nuclear products; however‚ they do not make harmful effects of the nuclear energy. Another word for the LENR‚ as researchers named it: “cold fusion.” The scientists however‚ proved through experiments and theories that LENR is not “cold fusion‚” as

Describe and evaluate the Behaviourist Approach The basic assumption of the behaviourist approach is that all behaviour is learned through experiences a person has in their environment. From this we know that behaviourists are on the side of nature in the “nature vs. nurture” debate. In comparison bio psychologists will be firmly on the side of nurture.

Classical conditioning was developed by Pavlov through his work on animals. He explained the development of abnormal behaviours through stimulus-response associations
