This paper will; (1) summarize the four conditioning theories of behaviorism, (2)

Sara Gutierrez De Piñeres Conclusions: Length vs. Period: By looking at the graph of Length vs. Period one can conclude that as the length gets longer the period will increase. When two pendulums have different lengths but the same amplitude, the shorter pendulum will have a smaller arc to travel through. Because the distance the mass travels from maximum displacement to equilibrium is less while the acceleration of both pendulums remains the same, the shorter pendulum will have a shorter period

view believe that our actions are based on life experience. This model is completely opposite to the biological model. Classical conditioning is behaviour learned through stimulus-response association. Stimulus being the environment and response being the reaction given. This is an early form of behaviourism pioneered by Ivan Pavlov. Pavlov (1897) demonstrated classical conditioning by using dogs. the dogs would salivate every time meat was put before them he then rang a bell. Eventually the

life. Cognitive learning involves making use of information rich higher mental process. In associative learning there are many practices and theories of associative learning such as reinforcements which is any events that will increase a response. Classical conditioning is an antecedent stimulus that doesn’t produce a response is linked with one that does. Another one would be operant learning is based on the consequences of responding. These are part of associative learning and have happened in many

spiders was based off of the memory of my grandmother, and her severe reaction to these small creatures. Behavioral psychology also offers insight into my fear because it focuses on observable behaviors, such as classical and operant conditioning, which are learned behaviors.
