Contributing to Psychology Joseph Roberts 3-9-14 Introduction to Psychology Structuralism: Psychology has been around for thousands of years, but only formally studied for around the last 130 years. (Coon, Mitterer 2013) There are many people who have and are currently contributing to the advancement of Psychology. Wilhelm Wundt, 1832-1920, is credited with separating psychology from philosophy and also creating the first experimental laboratory. His laboratory would grow from one room to

addictions and types of conditioning, it is important to first define and examine the differences between classical conditioning and operant conditioning. According to the Free Dictionary (2014), classical conditioning is defined as “A process of behavior modification by which a subject comes to respond in a desired manner to a previously neutral stimulus that has been repeatedly presented along with an unconditioned stimulus that elicits the desired response.” Operant conditioning however is defined

determine how people develop addictions through operant conditioning and how phobias develop through classical conditioning. To understand how these conditions develop one must first define and understand the differences between classical and operant conditioning. By learning how these conditions are created will in turn help achieve the process of extinction this is a technique to help overcome phobias and addictions. Classical and operant conditioning is two types of behaviors in psychology. These two

15, 2014 Abstract Throughout the past century, several theories of learning have developed in relation to associative learning, which is the most basic learning that there is. There are two types of associative learning: classical conditioning and operant conditioning. Later on in the mid 1900’s, another more advanced mode of learning was studied, that being observational learning. This paper will present an informal learning experience and use the different theories to break down how this

in humans. This paper will discuss how phobias can be developed through classical conditioning, how addictions can be developed through operant conditioning, the difference between classical and operate conditioning, and finally what extinction means and how it is achieved in both classical and operant conditioning. First, we will discuss how phobias can be developed through classical conditioning. Classical conditioning was the first type of learning to be studied systematically (Kowalski &

Introduction to Classical Conditioning Classical conditioning is a type of learning that had a major influence on the school of thought in psychology known as behaviorism. Discovered by Russian physiologist Ivan Pavlov, classical conditioning is a learning process that occurs through associations between an environmental stimulus and a naturally occurring stimulus. Behaviorism is based on the assumption that learning occurs through interactions with the environment. Two other assumptions of this

the dogs in the study wore lab coats. Pavlov noticed that the dogs would drool when they saw lab coats, even when they were not being fed. Classical conditioning was born from this observation. After Pavlov, the two crucial theorist were John B. Watson (1878-1958) and B. F. Skinner (1904-1990). Watson was influenced by Pavlov’s theory of classical conditioning and believed that conclusions about human development could only be made from directly observable overt behavior. In his stimulus-response

1. Operant Conditioning- this can be used in the workplace to encourage employees to do good work by rewarding them. For example: If an employee sells 10 cars for the month he gets a bonus and his picture on the wall for great sales but if another employee sells 2 cars for the month he gets a letter stating he is not meeting the job standards and if he continues to sell under the limit he may loose his job. That employee may quickly try to improve and sell more cars to be rewarded for his good
