behaviorist- Learning is a relatively permanent change in behavior that arises from practice or experience. *By cognitive psychologists- define learning as a mental change that may or may not be associated with changes in behavior. Classical Conditioning -is a simple form of associative learning that enables organisms to anticipate events. *Stimulus- an environmental condition that elicits a response. *Pavlov discovered that reflexes can also be learned‚ or conditioned‚ by association. -The

response. All behaviour is learnt from the environment. We learn new behaviour through classical and operant conditioning. Classical conditioning is stimulus- response. If a stimulus that results in a emotional response is repeated along with another stimulus which does not cause an emotional response‚ then eventually the second stimulus will result in the same emotional response. Classical conditioning is therefore learning by association. Some assumptions are made on the behaviourism approach‚

practice‚ or conditioning. For example‚ most people learn to wake up at the sound of an alarm clock. Through the process of conditioning‚ he or she awakens at the sound of the alarm. The alarm becomes the signal to start the day. Often what happens is that some people condition themselves to awaken at the same time every day without even hearing the alarm. In the late nineteenth century Ivan Pavlov‚ a Russian physiologist‚ was the first to systematically study classical conditioning (Kowalski &

The philosophy of operant conditioning has been demonstrated in many experiments using different types of species such as animals and humans. Operant conditioning refers to the process of reinforcing a response that is made in the company of a stimulus. In today’s life we are pulled and pushed by many events in our environment. We sometimes

Classical conditioning and Operant conditioning are psychological processes in which a person learns. Webster defines a phobia is an irrational fear towards a situation‚ object or thing‚ which in turn becomes a strong desire to prevent or avoid it. Common phobias include claustrophobia a fear of tight and closed in spaces‚ necrophobia is a fear of dead things in general

However‚ they could also help or make things worse for a person with the phobia or addiction‚ through the process of extinction.

Classical conditioning and operant conditioning are both ways that we learn through experience. These forms of conditioning are very different from each other‚ but both can lead to a process known as extinction‚ where a connection or response is broken or weakened (Kowalski & Westen‚ 2011). Classical conditioning occurs when a neutral stimulus is consistently added to an

B). Operant conditioning: When a teacher rewards good behavior with a token‚ and students can exchange these tokens for extra rewards. Classical conditioning: In animal training‚ a trainer might utilize classical conditioning by repeatedly pairing the sound of a clicker with the taste of food. Eventually‚ the sound of the clicker alone will begin to produce the same response that the taste of food would.
