methods such as classical conditioning and operant conditioning. Some phobias are believed to be developed through classical conditioning. If a neutral stimulus is paired with and unconditioned stimulus that creates an unconditioned response that causes fear, a conditioned stimulus of fear will occur every time you encounter the neutral stimulus. In a study performed by JohnWatson, the founder of American behaviorism, he tested the theory of phobias developed through classical conditioning. Choosing

sections are what this paper is comprised of. These topic are: 1. How phobias can be developed through classical conditioning. 2. How addictions can be developed through operant conditioning. 3. Distinguish between classical and operant conditioning. 4. The meaning of "extinction" and how it is achieved in both classical and operant conditioning. How phobias can be developed through classical conditioning "A phobia is a group of symptoms brought on by an object or situation that causes

Below the surface Many people have the fear of drowning. Most of these fears come from a traumatic experience that has happened to them as a child. On rare occasions, some people have a fear of swimming in just the ocean or lake but not from a swimming pool itself. By discovering the fear of swimming through unconditioned stimulus, unconditioned response, conditioned stimulus, and conditioned response, one may be able to get over these fears to enjoy the many things that one can do in the water

the Behavioral Personality Theory to show how a person can be convinced to start smoking, the social cognitive to show how a person’s society and environment can play a huge role in a person getting started on smoking. Then I will use Operant and Classical conditioning to set up a plan to help someone to quit smoking. Analyze Habit The worst habit for me is smoking cigarettes. The role models for the habit were commercials on television all the time like the Marlboro man and how smooth the cigarettes

phobia of germs.” An addiction is the fact or condition of being addicted to a particular substance, thing, or activity. Phobias and addictions are related to classical and operant conditioning. Phobias and addictions are two emotional difficulties, which theorists can account for. Phobias can be acquired through classical conditioning by pairing a neutral stimulus with something that causes pain. Phobia responses can be permanent unless the organism is subjected to the extinction

One copy of the lab report Physics 1030L/ Section 2 Conservation of Momentum Lab performed: 2/18/13 Report submitted: 2/20/13 Sample Calculations Results The magnitudes of the masses for the gliders before the collision were: mass XA1 is equal to 0.107m, and mass XB1 is equal to 0.101m. The magnitudes after the collision of the masses were: mass XA2 equal to 0.0890m, and mass XB2 equal to 0.0820m. The momentum of the masses before collision

Title: To determine the coefficient of static friction between two surfaces Objective: To investigate the relationship between the mass of load and the length of spring and the coefficient of static friction between two surface. Part 1: The relationship between the mass of load and the length of spring Apparatus and materials: Retort stand, spring, Slotted masses 200g with hanger, Meter rule Setup: Procedure: 1. One of the end of the spring is hooked on the retort stand. 2. The hanger

make a greater contribution than others. They therefore end up taking home a larger share of the pie. Fairness as proportionality guarantees that outcomes will not be equal. This, I believe, is one of the main reasons why modern leftists (but not classical liberals) are often hostile to capitalism itself, as were some at the OWS

discussion will also identify what could be learned from the time an individual started using drugs to the time they were no longer a drug user. There will be a discussion of the description of how someone’s learning could have occurred through classical conditioning, identify the unconditioned stimulus, unconditioned response, the conditioned stimulus, and the conditioned response. The operant conditioning, a description of the behavior, the consequences, and reinforcements will also explain. The
