Seligman tried to incite a similar experience when the dog a sense of fear, so that accompanied the bell rang electric shocks rather than food. In the first phase of the experiment was to restrict the dog and give him several electric shocks with the bell rang at the same time. Then in the second stage, and then decode the dog under the bell rang only. According to Pavlov, the dog should be trying to escape (as there used to be an electric shock if there was a bell), but it remained a surprise and did not move a finger. It has been subjected to electric shock and did not move, and then the other and did not move. Subjecting the dog sat down and surrender, groaning in pain and shock, without trying to flee, despite being free and unfettered. …show more content…
In the first phase of the experiment, the dog exposed to shocks and tried to flee, but the restriction preventing him from it. With the repetition of trauma and repetition of failing to escape, the dog learned helplessness and surrender. Therefore, he did not try to do something even when decoding recorded in the second phase.
Later, psychologists found that "learned helplessness" theory also applies to human behavior, but it can help in understanding the causes of depression in humans. Man when facing life's difficulties and problems, and trying to overcome Vev_l, then Vev_l tries, then tries Vev_l, it is learned helplessness and surrender to these difficulties, it is trying to do something about it at all, and suffer despair and
Most times, the lasting result becomes increasingly sweet with realization, metamorphosis, and helpful action. As each individual experiences despair, resulting action varies. Yet no matter how minuscule or substantial the problem at large is, the presence of acting accordingly to cease the problem remains perpetual. With collaboration of ideas and seeking guidance from groups, one comes to find assurance and advice that of which unveil the truth and the knowing it takes to remove any problem all together. An immediate chain like response occurs, almost like a wake up call, sounding loudly and abruptly, even after snooze was set, to clearly dictate that action needs to be taken. When proper action is taken, then miraculous life will
If you do not fit into a high school group you feel bad about yourself, if you cannot successfully fill all of your roles in college, then you feel inadequate and that you cannot do anything, if you do not look like the model on Instagram you feel fat and ugly and if you had a failed relationship you feel as if nobody can love you again because you are not ideal. In a study done by Lewinsohn, Gotlib, and Seeley (1995), they found that negative cognitions were a functional risk factor specific to MDD. They also stated that negative cognitions are important the Cognitive Theory of Depression by Beck (1978) and the Learned Helplessness Model of Depression by Abramson and colleagues’ which both relate to MDD and how it develops. In regards to Janet, the Learned Helpless Model of Depression is more present. This model states that a certain person knows that they are helpless in certain situations so they avoid them. Janet feels as if she cannot do anything to get her son to go to bed, so she often gives in and lets him sleep in her bed. She learned that she is helpless, so she gives into the situation every
Seligman's (1974) cognitive explanation of depression theory, learned helplessness, discovered that depression can be developed by individual's who feel extremely helpless and like they have no control about anything that could happen to them.
This theory looks at how an individual can be influenced and shaped from interactions in their life through thoughts, feelings, behaviours, and their environment. Bandura’s theory suggests that those who suffer from extreme low moods and depression are completely certain that they are to blame for all the bad things that have happened in their life. Individuals will avoid any tasks or any situation that poses a challenge to them. They believe that there is nothing within their control that can help them change their situation. When achievements do occur, they think that this has only happened due to external factors and not because of anything they have done this is named as self- efficacy. (Positive psychology,
The study by Watson and Rayner was to further the research of Ivan Pavlov. Pavlov was a Russian physiologist whose most famous experiments involved that of animals, specifically the unconditioned and conditioned reflexes of canines, in reference to salivation and conditioned emotional response. Pavlov demonstrated that if a bell was rang each time a dog was fed; ultimately the animal would befall conditioned to salivate at just the sound of the bell, even where food is was no longer present (The Salivation reflex). Watson and Rayner set out to further the research of conditioned stimulus response, with little Albert. ‘These authors without adequate experimental evidence advanced the view that this range was increased by means of conditioned reflex factors.’ (B.Watson, R Rayner , 1920).
Also discussed in this concept are the theories of depression. Learning Theory states that patients experience depression as a result of a loss of control over one’s life. This could be a factor for C.R. in that he did not have control over his wife’s passing and his subsequent move to the nursing home. Another theory is Cognitive Theory, which states that those who are depressed focus on the negative aspects of life instead of the positive. C.R. has demonstrated that he sees the negative in situations instead of the positive. C.R. said, “I have nothing left to live for anymore so I don’t know why you bother” while performing nursing care. The text states regarding depression, “All present experiences are viewed as negative, and there is no hope for the future.” (Pearson 2011) The text also states that symptoms
The classic model of depression, according to Beck (1979), centres on the ‘depressive cognitive triad’. These patterns of negative thoughts are about: First, the world, the past or current situation, for example, no one likes me. Second, oneself (self-criticism, guilt, blame), for example, I’m worthless. And third, the future (hopelessness, pessimisms), for example, I will never be successful.
He discovered classical conditioning after seeing how the dogs were stimulated to respond to their food and anything related to food such as the noise of the door or person coming towards them (King, 2016). He eventually conditioned the dogs to respond to a bell as it did when it was exposed to the food (King, 2016). Pavlov accomplished this by introducing a neutral stimulus, the bell, which is a stimulus that doesn’t result in a response like conditioned or unconditioned stimuli (King, 2016). Initially, in this experiment salivation was an innate response to food, but after the introduction of the bell, it became a conditioned response because the dog learned that every time the bell rang, its food came along with it (King, 2016). Consequently, making the bell a conditioned stimulus which is a stimulus that resulted in a response after many times that the neutral stimulus was presented with the food (King,
Susan Schenkel, author of “Giving Away Success” says “there are many ways we discount ourselves. Three of the most common patterns are: 1) emphasizing the negative 2) automatically attributing success to something other than ability, and 3) automatically blaming failure on lack of ability” (Schenkel, 6). Schenkel explains how women also end up being susceptible to falling into helplessness as a result of uncontrollability, which is the belief that nothing can be done to rectify their current state of misfortunes. As a result they end up withdrawing, for example, stopping, quitting or escaping from making ardent efforts to deal with their existing problems. A second thing they tend to do is to avoid getting into tough situations. They do this by shying away from confrontation with the difficulty they feel unable or unwilling to handle (Schenkel, 19). As a result of this helplessness disrupts behavior such as undermining motivation, interfering with ability to learn and creating emotional distress (Schenkel, p. 24).
In unit seven, this learner took part in a debate involving the causes of depression. Depression is a debilitating mental disorder that can be detrimental to a person’s way of living. For centuries, psychologists and researchers have been searching for a single cause of depression, identifying two perspectives to date. The cognitive-behavioral perspective includes influences of faulty thinking that develops from low self-esteem and or a learned helplessness. In addition, cognitive-behavioral perspective indicates environmental influences such as poor living conditions and socioeconomic issues as causes of depression. However, this learner presented evidence along with personal experiences to support the biological perspective of the debate.
The most famous behaviorist experiment is also one of the simplest example, in which Ivan Pavlov induced such a significant association in dogs (test subjects), that they would salivate at the sound of a ringing bell, because he had taught them to associate the sound with food. Emphasis within the behaviorist approach itself range from simply observing behavior as a convenient heuristic of psychological research, a branch that uses only behavior to gauge psychological processes, and a third that only behavior is relevant to the study of the human mind, as less observable terms refer only to behavior.
We have all heard of Pavlov's Dogs, the experiment where the dogs "drooled" at the sounding of a bell. But, do we know of the details of this infamous experiment? What do we know of the man, beyond that he could ring bells? It is my intention, in this brief dissertation, to shed more light on his life and his experiments.
Learned helplessness Theory – repeated exposure to a stressor, people stop trying to avoid it, feel they have no control over it, will not act if there is an opportunity to escape, and will not look for such opportunities (Ursa&Koeh, 2015)

This essay will first explore what classical conditioning is by using Ivan Pavlov’s famous experiment with dogs to explain how it works. It will then go on to describe how classical conditioning led to more research by Edward L. Thorndike and B.F. Skinner in the study of instrumental behaviour (Gleitman et al. 2011). It will also mention briefly what similarities can be found between operant and classical conditioning before explaining in detail what operant conditioning is (Skinner’s experiment with the operant
