I enjoy having a great weather outside, especially the period when flowers and trees bloom and reveal the beauty of spring. My ...

Conditioning in Psychology refers to the processes by which repeated stimulus produce predictable and frequent response. There are two types of conditioning namely classical and operant conditioning. Classical conditioning was discovered by Ivan Pavlov during his digestive system research (Kalat, 2011). Pavlov noticed that the dogs salivated whenever they sighted attendants dressed in lab coats. He attributed this behavior to the repeated exposure of both food and lab coats to the dogs. Pavlov investigated the behavior by ringing a bell whenever he was presenting food to dog. After repeated occurrences, he observed that the dogs could salivate when the bell ...

In psychology, there is a learning theory that states that as we learn, we adjust the manner in which we perceive our environment and the manner in which we interpret the incoming stimuli. Consequently, all this alters the way we interact, or behave. It is from this theory that one learns about behaviorism. The latter is the study or our behaviors after exposure to given stimuli within the environment. This helps us in understanding the effects given stimuli have on us.
In the learning theory, we have classical and operant conditioning. In classical conditioning, one learns to associate one ...

Man has been dependent on the animals for its survival for food, companionship, and competition. Man has also used animals to gain knowledge about its surroundings. One of the earliest examples being that of physician Galen who used animals to demonstrate that blood flowed in arteries and not air.

Research involves three distinct facets: acquiring knowledge, animals use in teaching exercises, and testing on animals of compounds, devices, or ...

Our family favored pets ever since I was little: we had at least one animal in our apartment at a time. However, there was that one pet, that one cat that was different from every other living thing that shared a life with us at our home. Its name was Tom, he was a simple domestic cat, a gray one. He was an extremely beautiful and smart cat. We grew up together; he was 5 months old when he first entered the threshold of our door. I got him from a friend whose female cat has given birth to six kittens.

Altruism according to Vonnegut entails the devotion to see others make it through situations difficult for them at the expense of the one assisting them in the move. Notably, altruism in nature and in human society may not be possible since it is impeded by aspects which are specific in nature and in human society. In most cases, altruism will not be practiced in human society owing to the interests that different people have which may conflict hence placing a barrier to its dispensation. Nevertheless, different individuals or groups have different takes on this aspect and will act according based ...

Definition of learning

We use the term 'learning' the whole time in our day-to-day life. But do we actually know the actual meaning of this word and its real significance? Almost everything that people do, any action they take is the consequence and result of preceding learning and experience yet. On the other hand, for some people learning is still associated exceptionally with the educational process. Such idea of the concept of learning is not quite correct. Throughout our lives learn a disorderly variety of skills. For instance, as infants we learn to eat, to draw attention to ourselves, to crawl, to make ...

Operant Conditioning 2
Introduction
Operant conditioning is a type of learning where a subject’s behavior is modified through antecedents and consequences. The concept was first discovered by Ivan Pavlov who was studying the digestive system of dogs. The theory of behaviorism was introduced by John B. Watson. Later, B.F. Skinner helped define the mechanics of behaviorism through his work. Over the years behaviorism has grown in popularity and scope. Research has shaped the practice of behaviorism as it has been adapted by many disciplines (education, psychology). The most popular use of Behavioral Therapy today is found in treating ...

What generally defines poetry connects a number of poems in terms of thematic concerns, stylistic devices employed, mood and the language. According to one of the earliest definition of poetry, William Wordsworth says that poetry is an unprompted flow of feeling recollected in stillness. Themes are connected to the mood of the poem and different authors may fall victims of such impulsive composition environment and themes speak louder that decorative styles like alliterations, assonance, rhymes. In this paper I will discuss the connection between three poems; Noh’s Raven, dog dreaming and the drunken in the furnace by W.S. Merwin.

If you would be a rabbit, or a dog, or a caw how would communicate your sorrow? How would you persuade the others to treat you well? They have no voice of their own; they are able of no formal communication, other than their gestures and their onomatopoeic sounds. But that does not mean that they feel nothing. PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of the Animals) knows the hardships the animals go through and it develops consistent programs for assuring the animals’ wellbeing. Although its efforts are massive, it cannot do it on its own. Human involvement is needed for further ...

Prior to the discovery of insulin, diabetes was dreaded as a disease leading to death. It was known that a rise in the sugar level in the body worsened the condition of diabetic individuals and that the sole treatment of diabetes known to people was to restrict the dietary intake of sugars (‘’The discovery of insulin”, n.d., para. 1).
During the nineteenth century, examination of patients who succumbed to diabetes revealed that the pancreas was damaged. In 1869, Paul Langerhans discovered that a group of cells called beta cells, whose function was unidentified, existed within the pancreatic tissue and were eventually ...

It is important that a dog kept as a domestic pet is properly trained, for a number of reasons. The first and important one is to get a puppy “house-trained.” Because puppies need to urinate frequently, beginning when they wake up in the morning, the owner will need to be up early each day to take the dog outside, and then take it out frequently during the day. The puppy will soon learn the routine, so that it does not use the house as its toilet.
A dog must also be taught to recognize its owner as its master or pack leader ...

For ages, humans have used shaping procedures for training their young ones, people around them, as well as their pet animals. Shaping procedure (operant conditioning) in animals and humans uses rewards as stimulants to induce the idea and behavior while targeting the result, which is behavior change. Shaping procedure is the idea of emphasizing on the successive guesses to the final response. The procedure allows a trainer to move from an ‘it cannot be done’ situation to a ‘done’ position. In Most cases, the trainer is forced to shape a behavior pattern in an animal where it does not frequently occur or ...

Learned helplessness is one of the phenomena thought to be relevant in understanding depression in humans.

A phobia is an irrational fear to natural phenomenon such that it is abnormal as compared to the behavior of normal people. It is normally triggered by a specific stimulus and hence is a consequence of conditioning. An addiction is a dependence on a substance or action for acquisition of pleasure with little regard for the possible negative effects. Conditioning is the training of the human, or any animal’s, system to respond in a specific manner when exposed to a specific stimulus. It can be voluntary or involuntary on the part of the subject hence the two types of conditioning: operant and classical.
