Module Four Assignment
The classical condition that I’ve experienced would be taste aversion. My mom fixed her most famous pasta salad that I once found so delicious so believe me when I say that I ate a great amount every time she fixed it. We were at the beach and we grilled out, she fixed the pasta salad and I was so excited. I ate and ate and ate until I couldn’t anymore. The next day I felt queasy and let’s just say the pasta salad didn’t sit to well with me. Ever since that day which was two years ago I haven’t gone near that pasta salad and even the smell of it makes me nauseous. Did the pasta salad make me sick? Probably not but by me getting sick right after eating made me never want to go near it again.
There are 5 key elements of classical conditioning: 1. Unconditioned Stimulus (UCS) which …show more content…

2. Unconditioned Response (UCR) which is A reflexive action produced naturally by the UCS (Nausea) 3. Neutral Stimulus which is a stimulus that does not initially elicit a response (The smell) 4. Conditioned Stimulus (CS) which Initially the neutral stimulus, does not normally produce a UCR. Through repeated association with the UCS, the CS produces a very similar response and finally 5. Conditioned Response (CR) which is the learned response to the CS (Me getting nausea with just the smell of the pasta salad). Before learning, the pasta is a uncontrolled stimulus which produced nausea and vomiting which is considered a UCR. The smell was neutral which elicit no response, during the transition the pasta smell became a controlled stimulus, the pasta was uncontrolled stimulus and the nausea becomes a UCR at the end the smell changed from a neutral position to a controlled stimulus that elicit nausea which now

  • An Operant Conditioning In Antonio's Case

    554 Words  | 2 Pages

    When Antonio was seven years old, he had a very bad flu and was hospitalized. He was able to recover without complications, but he noticed that whenever he drove by the hospital he was treated at that he would start to feel sick to his stomach.Unconditioned stimulus in Antonio's case was initially the hospital. The unconditioned response to being at the hospital was he didn't feel well. Then the Hospital became the conditioned response by making Antonio feel sick when he had to visit or drive by the hospital. It is because he associated the hospital (CS) with feeling ill. The hospital where he was treated for the sickness is the conditioned stimulus (CS), causing him to remember what occurred and inducing his stomach to hurt (CR) which is an conditioned response. This is an example of classical

    Classical Conditioning was a phenomenon that a man named Ivan Pavlov explored in the twentieth-century. His work laid the foundation for many other psychologists such as John Watson. Pavlov’s idea came when he seized on an incidental observation. He noticed putting food in a dogs mouth caused salvation. However, the dog not only salivated to the food it began to also salivate to mere sight of the food, or the food dish. He began experimenting; first he slid the food presented the food by sliding the food bowl and blowing meat powder into the dogs mouth at the same exact moment. They paired it with a neutral stimuli event the dog could see but did not associate it with food (Myers, 2014, p.256). Food in the mouth automatically, unconditionally triggers the salivary reflex. Pavlov called drooling the unconditioned response and the food the unconditioned stimulus. Salvation in response to a tone is learned, it is conditioned upon the dogs associating the tone with the food it is called conditioned response (Myers, 2014, p.256). The stimulus that used to be neutral is the conditioned stimulus. I found it interesting and relating to everyday life because my dog often does the same. We keep his food in the garage so opening the garage door would be the conditioned stimulus. As soon as the garage door opens my dog begins to salivate which is the conditioned response. Whereas,

    I. Introduction of classical conditioning Classical conditioning also called as Pavlovian conditioning or respondent conditioning. It is a kind of learning a new behavior through association that when a conditioned stimulus (CS) is paired with an unconditioned stimulus (US) and evokes a conditioned response (CR). It also is a learning process that occurs through associations between an environmental stimulus and a naturally occurring stimulus (Cherry, 2014). Classical conditioning has much strength such as can help to explain all aspects of human behavior and many of advertisers will use classical conditioning to advertise their produces, however it also have some weaknesses such as all classical conditioning responses must involve a reflex and classical conditioning is a completely physical process, learning is not important as reflected in scenario. This paper will talk about the strengths and the weaknesses of classical conditioning theory followed by a brief description of the scenario and the strengths and weaknesses of applying classical conditioning on it.

  • Classical and Operant Conditioning

    Classical conditioning is a technique of learning that occurs when an unconditional stimulus is paired with a conditional stimulus. The unconditional stimulus is biologically potent, the conditional stimulus is neutral (Kalat, 2011). Example of each is taste of food and sound of tuning fork respectively. After repeated pairing, the organism exhibits a conditional response to the conditional stimulus. The conditional response is similar to the unconditioned response though it is relatively impermanent and is acquired through experience (Kalat, 2011).

  • Three Foods I Will Never Eat Again

    544 Words  | 2 Pages

    The amount of stories of inadequate foods people have consumed with sickness or even death as a result is astonishing. Having a bad experience such as getting sick after eating something would certainly create a negative thought about that food, causing one to avoid it in the future. Another common reason for not eating certain foods is for the lack of nutrients contained. There are very few foods that I don’t eat because of bad experiences; therefore, most of the foods I avoid are a result of the small amount of nutrients contained in those foods.
