3rd Reflection

  

     This lesson is a recap of classical conditioning which has been learned way back when we were taking introduction to psychology. It is crucial to remember the keyterms that are associated with conditioning and the sequence of the conditioning process. 

     Without much realization, human undergoes conditioning throughout their lives. It may bring about negativity which may be detrimental psychologically or it may bring about positive changes in one’s live. In short, both pros and cons never fail to exist. 

The Apparatus that used by Pavlov to study classical conditioning.

     When reading a case story and  having to point out the NS, NR, UCR, UCS, CR and finally, CS (easy to mention when these have been abbreviated), it can be deemed as a mentally ardous task yet after loads of practices, the speed in detecting what was required increased gradually. In a nutshell, classical conditioning do happen to human, not only dogs, in case you are wondering the opposite way.

     As we know, behaviorism is the changing of behavior. How can we apply behaviorism in our daily life? The changing of behavior can be learned or trained. For example, we learned how to be a good person and we have been trained how to be disciplined. Sometimes, the environment will make us change our behavior whether to be good or to be bad. 

    

    Even animals learn how to use the toilet and how to be tamed, so why not human? we are contantly changing our behaviors and constantly trained to do so starting from the moment we are born. The previous class (25^th September) did provide us with sufficient understandings about behaviorism through applying it in real life situation.
