We have to learn all three theories of learning, Classical Conditioning, Operant Condition, and Observational Learning soon you will find out that many of our behaviors have been conditioned to make us who we are according to behaviorism.
Ready? lets make it fun and informative:
For each of the three behaviors below, please apply the type of learning that underlies the learned behavior.
Classical conditioning:
Food Aversion:
1. Describe a learned food aversion that you experienced. If you haven’t experienced a food aversion, ask a friend or family member to share one with you.
2. Show how the principles of classical conditioning (unconditioned stimulus (UCS), unconditioned response(UCR, conditioned stimulus (CS), and conditioned response(CR) applied to your food aversion experience.
Operant conditioning:
Pet behavior:
1. Describe a time when you trained (or observed pets) learn some amazing tricks. I taught my dog to shake hands with all the visitors instead of jumping at them using operant condition.
2. identify the type of reinforcement you used in this training according to the principles of operant conditioning.
Observational learning:
Monkey see, monkey do:
1. Describe a time when someone told you (or you told someone) “do what i say, not what i do” and how effective it was.
2. Show how the principles of observational learning do not agree with this saying. what are the main factors that are needed for observational learning to occur.
Please respond with at least 100 words for each learning theory.
