does such an irrational fear begin can probably be explained through classical conditioning. In other words fears are learned. Learning is any relatively permanent change in the way an organism responds based on its experience. The famous experiment of Watson and Rayner with “Little Albert” shows clearly how classical conditioning can account for irrational fears, or phobias. This example of classical conditioning as well as Aristotle’s laws of association which account for learning and memory

Classical Conditioning, Operant Conditioning, and Social-Cognitive Conditioning. Classical Conditioning is a form of learning in which the conditioned stimulus comes to signal the occurrence of a second stimulus, the unconditioned stimulus. Researchers have used “many model systems that have been developed to explore classical conditioning, including conditioned eye blink, conditioned taste aversion, and conditioned approach/avoidance.” (Domjan, 2003). An example of this type of conditioning would

As stated earlier, classical conditioning is used to learn involuntary emotional and/or physiological responses. Typically, this is not always the case Classical Conditioning can be used in everyday settings to get someone/a group of people to behave a particular way by proposing something other than the obvious. It is important that students associate positive emotional experiences with learning rather than negative experience. With the combination of negative emotional experiences and learning

described as a compulsive need to obtain access to a substance that is usually harmful. Classical and operant conditioning involves a way for a person to learn or acquire new behaviors. Classical conditioning is a learned response; as to operant conditioning is a behavior that is controlled by the environment. A phobia or addiction can develop through any of these two learning process. Classical conditioning can teach a fear on someone from an early age. For instance; a child who has a fear spiders, learned

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

basis that mental illness is learned behaviour, and that we learn it through the same ways that we learn normal behaviour. The Model divides these ways of learning into three groups. Classical conditioning, operant conditioning and social learning theory (SLT). Classical conditioning is the idea that our response to something can be changed or “conditioned” using other stimuli. We can see this from the Watson and Raynor experiment. In this experiment, an 11 month old child

April 2015 Sandra Coswatte Learning Experience Paper: Arachnophobia This paper will discuss Arachnophobia which is the fear of spiders. It will describe how learning could have occurred through classical conditioning, how learning could have occurred through operant conditioning, it will also discuss the behavior, consequence, and reinforcement. The unconditioned stimulus, the unconditioned response, the conditioned stimulus, and the conditioned response will also be discussed. Arachnophobia
