classical conditioning. In doing some research on the topic of classical conditioning, I have come to learn that it is a way of training so to speak, where a conditioned response is learned through conditioning the individual, be it animal or human. Basically, one learns that if you do this one action, another will follow in response; a reaction to one’s action. This reaction can be either a reward or a punishment. For instance, you train a dog to do a trick such as, shake hands or roll over. You do

Television discourages social behavior, delays brain development in the very young, promotes unhealthy living, and tears down our core family values. Television can be blamed for many of student academic failures. The infant brain is not developed like a mature adults, and it acts as a “single receptacle of sensory experience” (Vorisek, 2007), which absorbs everything around it.

mechanism. - In a perfect world, your body would experience stress, handle your response to it and your body’s systems would return to normal. Unfortunately, this does not always happen.

This is the root of what is called the ‘stress response.’ The longer an acute stress phase lasts, the more difficult time you have getting

Psychology is not something that came over night. Through the years and centuries psychology has grown from simple ideals of philosophers into its own kind of science. Today, psychology is largely defined as "the study of behavior and mental processes". The eleven founders of psychology all had great ideas and theories that developed throughout the years. John Watson was inspired by Ivan Pavlov’s work but instead of studying the digestive and blood circulation system like Ivan Pavlov he was more
