Here is an example on how classical conditioning can teach a child not to touch a hot stove. Heat is a US; it is a naturally occurring circumstance to which the human body responds too. The body's reaction to touching something hot is the UR. When any human touches something hot, US, they quickly retort their hand away from the heat, UR. When a child touches a hot stove, which in this purpose should be considered to be a CS, they learn that touching this particular object, this CS, is touching something hot and painful which leads them to moving their hand away which in this case is a CR since the stove in particular is hot. The stove is a CS because it can be replaced, or generalized, for anything else that may be hot; which will have the same response. This response is an acquisitionbecause the UR to move away from something hot is incorporated into the CR of moving away from the hot stove. Extinction may occur if the curious child tried to touch the stove again, but it is not hot. The fear of pain is extinguished since the CS is not causing pain. However, the curious child whop touches the stove again, and this time it is hot again, will have a spontaneous recovery, and again have fear of touching the hot stove. Eventually, the child will be able to discriminate on when they can touch the stove, and when they cannot.

List the people and definitions of classical conditioning and operant conditioning and the people associated with each?

classical conditioning is when you associate one thing with another and is usually taught by someone else. for instance mothers teach their children to repricate via positive social releaser methods (e.g. Smiling) at which the child will learn to repeat. An example of a study Pavlov's dogs- everytime pavlov would feed his dog he would ring a bell. after a period of time the dog learn to associate the ringing of the bell with feeding time. Even when it wasn't time for food pavlov would ring the bell and the dog would come and salivate( thinks it is dinner time) this is because the dog has learnt to associate the ringing of the bell with feeding time. Operant conditioning you teach yourself and is through trial and error or through rewards. An example of a study Skinner's rats- skinner had some rats in a cage at which he never fed. after a while the rat discovered a button in the cage, when it pressed it food came out and into the cage. the rat had learnt to press the button in order to get food so would do so every time it was to be fed. I hope i have helped you :)


Can a behavior be learned?

Yes, behaviors can be learned through a process called conditioning, where associations are made between a behavior and a stimulus. This can be done through both classical conditioning and operant conditioning. Additionally, behaviors can also be learned through observation and imitation, known as social learning.


What is different between classical and operant conditioning?

classical conditioning is where a participant learns to associate a stimulus with food that doesn't result in an overt behavioral response whereas operant is where a participant learns by reinforcement of consequences of a behaviour.

What are the Disadvantages of classical conditioning?

The disadvantages of classical conditioning: 1. It is a completely physical process, learning is not important here. 2. It is a temporary learning process. 3. All classically conditioned responses must involve a reflex 4. Therefore, what can be learned is limited 5. So, how do animals and humans learns things that are not associated with reflexes? CW: I disagree with#1 -- it's learning. I disagree with #2, it's as permanent as other learning. I agree with#3 -- classical conditioning involves an innate process. I agree with #4, but that is not limited to Classical Conditioning. #5: Instrumental conditioning is one way, and higher-order associative learning works. The main disadvantage is that you use existing reflexes (Primary Classical Conditioning). Therefore, it would be difficult to teach a rat to detect explosive vapors using classical conditioning.
