learning are external (environmental), not internal (scientific psychological processes). Modern Behaviorist take into account that people are not born as blank slates, what they become, how they learn, and what they learn is based on environmental conditioning of outside forces, i.e. parents, teachers, culture, as well as genetic makeup. However, the result of a direct stimuli response does create a chemical response in our brains, which can change our behavior, intelligence, etc. Therefore, learning

All behaviours are learned through processes of classical and operant conditioning. • Classical conditioning- learning by association. For example, Little Albert had a fear of sudden loud noises as all children do. In this case, at the same time he was given a rat and the loud noise started which later made him to associate the rat with a sudden noise. Although he also showed a fear of a rat even when there was no noise at all. But before the experiment Little Albert showed no fear at a rat which

PSY/300 4/1/13 Carlton Bowden Classical and operant conditioning are the two common ways in which people learn behaviors. In has been shown that people and animals learn through making associations between their environments and making choices according to their consequences. The concept that learning is adaptive and shapes behavior forms the fundamental concepts of the behaviorist perspective (Kowalski & Westen, 2011). Classical and operant conditioning both plays a part in a person’s individual

Behaviourists explain behaviour in terms of the stimuli that elicit it and the events that caused the person to learn to respond to the stimulus that way. Behaviourists use two processes to explain how people learn: classical conditioning and operant conditioning. In classical conditioning, people learn to associate two stimuli when they occur together, such that the response originally elicited by one stimulus is transferred to another. The person learns to produce an existing response to a new stimulus

result of learning or conditioning. The theory of learning based upon the idea that all behaviours are acquired through conditioning is called Behaviourism. Conditioning occurs as a result of interaction with the environment. The environment (i.e. the people and the events in it) cause our behaviour. Behaviourist believe that we learn or we are conditioned to behave the way we do and our responses to environmental stimuli shape our actions. Types of Behavioural Conditioning The two ways in which

Classical conditioning is defined in Psychology as “a type of learning in which a neutral stimulus comes to bring about a response after it is paired with a stimulus that naturally brings that response” (Feldman, 2010, p 163). Having to do with reactions and learning, the definition of classical conditioning can be abbreviated into the idea of involuntary behavior. The example of Pavlov’s dog illustrates this as the dog came to associate the sound of a bell with food, causing a reflective action
