Operant Conditioning Research Paper

According to Module 6.2, classical conditioning is a process when we learn to associate stimuli and anticipates an event. Pavlov was a physiologist who stumbled upon this process on accident by studying dogs and why and when they salivate. This experiment cause to produce two types of responses, conditioned and unconditioned which means that we have reflexes that are learned and unlearned responses and reflexes. A good example of these processes is in the story of Antonio who had the flu and was hospitalized but now feels sick anytime he passes a hospital. Antonio developed unconditional responses each time he saw a hospital because of that one event. The flu is the unconditional stimulus (US), the reflexive response in the organism, the virus in is body. The unconditioned response (UR) is the natural reaction Antonio had towards the hospital when he passed the hospital which
Operant conditioning is the result of a behavior learned that if it has positive outcome you most likely will continue that behavior if there is a negative outcome you most likely will not. Being in a committed relationship takes work and a lot of understanding.

If there is a positive punisher in our relationship it would be communication between each other which has become second nature for us when discussing
