Differences between Classical and Operant Conditioning

In Behavioral Psychology, the term ‘conditioning’ is used to refer to a theory that learning can allow a human being or animal to modify the response (reaction) to a stimulus (event/object) (Hill, 2001). There are two types of conditioning: classical conditioning and operant conditioning with distinct characteristics. When the two types are contrasted, it is easily noticeable that both approaches involve diverse learning patterns. As far as classical conditioning is concerned, it involves “learning by association, and refers to the conditioning of reflexes – how animals learn to associate new stimuli with innate bodily reflexes” (Hill, 2001). According to operant ...

Learning allows our brains to record and preserve beneficial behaviors and know how to avoid harmful ones. The consequences of the experiences we have or observe are stored in our memory as knowledge to influence our future behavior. The paper explores behavior change through a focus on the learning theories; classical and operant conditioning.

Operant Conditioning

It is a form of learning in which the response to a voluntary behavior influences whether or not the behavior will recur; this occurs through the use of reinforcements and punishment. Following the experiments of B. F. Skinner, we can conclude that a person or ...

Question 1

Neil Borden (1965) is believed to be the first to have used the term ‘marketing mix’ suggested to him by James Cullington’s (1948) description of a business executive as ‘a mixer of ingredient’ (Van Waterschoot & Van den Bulte, 1992). The term, therefore, referred to the selection and mixture of various elements perceived to be useful in the pursuant of particular market responses. To facilitate the practical application of the concept to concrete business operation problems, early researchers working on the model sought to itemize the various influences on a market response that business executives at the time needed ...

Three phase induction motors

Introduction The three-phase induction machine is the most widely used among the rotating machines. An induction machine offers an almost constant speed within its normal operating range when operated off a constant-voltage, constant-frequency, and with the electric power source. The cost of purchasing these machines is very low, and they require little maintenance. However, speed control is difficult and very expensive. Therefore, the rotor current of the three phase induction motors is not induced by electrical connections, but rather the rotation of magnetic field.

PART A- Operant Conditioning Theory

Operant conditioning is a theory on behaviorism that was formulated by behavioral psychologist, B.F. Skinner. It focuses on an individual's changes in observable behavior. According to B.F. Skinner, once a behavior is followed by reinforcement, it is more likely to be repeated; however, if it is followed by punishment then it is not likely to be repeated (Plotnik, R., & Kouyoumdjian, 2014). Bobby is a seven-year old child who is used to getting gifts from his parents every now and then right from a tender age. Every time his mother decides to go to the mall, she takes him with ...

There are many theories as to how a person may become who he or she is. Some people believe that they are directly shaped by the events that happen in a person’s past, while other thinkers state that people go through different dialectical stages that led up to one’s current state. In this sense, there are many elements that one must be aware of in order to adequately analyze one’s life development. Three of the most important development theorists are B. F. Skinner, John Watson and Erik Erikson; these three men founded Operant Conditioning, Behaviorism and ...

Conditioning

1. Classical conditioning is a learning technique that occurs when a potent stimulus like food is paired with a neutral stimulus to elicit a response like salivating. (McLeod, 2014) When I was in high school, my mother used to cook meat every Friday and it was always ready by the time I got home. Immediately I reach the door of the main house, I could start salivating due to the smell of the meat. The practice continued and whenever I reach the door of the house every Friday, I could start salivating due to the smell of the meat. ...

While Beck argues that depression results from negative thinking styles that results to how people view their environment, Psychologists Martin Seligman and his colleagues postulated the concept of Learned Helplessness. The main key to how the group discovered this theory is by researching on the linkage between fear and learning in dogs. The research of Seligman made use of Classical Conditioning as it involved observing what happens when a dogs was set free from its enclosure upon hearing a sound. The remarkable results of the experiment suggest that the conditioned dog learned more than link between the tone and ...

My experience of completing the positive body image exercises was exceedingly rewarding and positive. In the process of carrying out each separate exercise, I recognized my intrinsic alignment with positive judgments and feelings that support my body’s growth and development. The negative energy that I sometimes project towards others and myself with regards to body image is something that I found to be a product of my social conditioning and programming. In other words, the negative judgments or bad feelings that I have related to mine and others’ body image is something generated by my socialization process and ...

Global warming is one of deleterious consequences of climatic change. Increased level of carbon dioxide emission and other pollutants such as chlorofluorocarbons contribute to unprecedented increase in the atmospheric temperature which dictates human survival in this planet. A continuation of this trend will eventually lead to a wipe out of the living creatures on the earth’s surface through resulting effects such as heat wave related deaths as well as flooding. Global warming has contributed to several cases of heat wave related deaths around the world. It has also denied wild animals their natural habitats through forest fires which ...

How did the fear develop?

Suppose that a young girl is terrified of bugs, fear may have developed through classical conditioning by developing a kind of nervous disorder. This may have started through an early experience that transpired when she was younger. One day, she was out riding on a bike and when she started to get tired, she bowed her head down and that was when she saw a bug right at the center of the road. As the young girl looked at the bug, she failed to see a motorcycle that was coming right at her and so she lost her balance ...

Introduction

Over the years, the needs of individuals have been thought to be restructuring the society not in any sense but in the sense that such needs dictate the means and the ways of the society. Well, a critical look at the society today reveals a society that has been totally reformed by people’s needs. Recently, several revolutions spurring technology, medicine and so forth continue to reveal that the society is no longer in its natural context but by individual need. As a matter of fact, as people embrace various revolutions to make their lives better and worth living, ...

The some of the most important things I learned is what is the definition of a disorder and how it is categorized. I had an understanding of the DSM-4, but the additions to the DSM-5 with its dimensions and frequency was refreshing. I thought in todays varied cultural mass there would need a change like that to focus attention where it is needed, and weed out just eccentric behavior. What I really was surprised to learn and think about was how much current psychology and threat is very new. Previous treatment and psychological perception was extremely skewed and had ...

Introduction

The process of learning in animals and humans come through a series of situations that come together to motivate, and ignite the brains and enable them to repeat specific actions in the face of certain circumstances. The basic logic presented by psychologists and biologists is that there is intrinsic motivation based on the brain which controls the nerves and models of an animal or human being. This implies that an external variable triggers an extrinsic motivation that gets the organism to ignite the internal or intrinsic motivation in order to undertake certain actions and internalize it in order to ...

B.F Skinner (1938) came up with the Operant conditioning theory which he described as, the process that one is able to explain the behaviours of an individual by looking at the actions preceded the happening or occurrence. As per the theory, various factors when brought into the picture will cause an individual either to continue acting in a particular way or they may be used to deter him or her from acting in that particular manner. This theory was then further divided into two; Reinforcement and Punishment. As per the theory, Reinforcement is the consequences that encourage an individual ...

In her book “The Second Sex” Simone de Beauvoir discusses the role and nature of women in society, saying that “She is defined and differentiated with reference to man and not he with reference to her; she is incidental, the inessential as opposed to the essential. He is the Subject, he is Absolute - she is the Other” (Beauvoir 1993, p. 16). Beauvoir’s argument indicates the presence of male dominance in society that has existed for thousands of years. Furthermore, her argument indicates that problems related to class and race will inevitably become man-made problems because of their ...

Autism is a disability that affects the developmental ability of the individual in either their verbal or nonverbal communication, their socialization or their levels of interests or activities. Children with autism often have difficulties with their sensory processing they may sometimes overreact or underreact in depending on their situation (Sheehan, 2016). There should be a definite distinction in the way children with autism and those with learning and attention disorders are treated and how their learning is facilitated. These two conditions are entirely different, despite having similar symptoms. When developing an action plan for helping children with autism with ...

Understanding one’s behavior is essential to the maintenance of proper communication channels. In fact, lack thereof compromises the possibilities of understanding the actions of individuals lacking the capacity to express themselves vocally. In many cases, verbal communication does not fulfill all the interaction requirements, therefore, creating the need to appreciate the essential concepts of behavioral psychology. Specifically, the operant and classical conditioning are essential concepts that seek to explain the nature of the behavior of people and animals. A Russian psychologist, Ivan Pavlov, first proposed classical conditioning and it emphasizes the placement of a neutral action before a ...

Modernity refers to the approaches, behavior, and ideas of the post-traditional period. Originally, modernity can be defined as a critique of tradition, and a movement toward a new point of view rooted in new paradigms and insights. Recently, modernity has embodied present-day thoughts and present-day lifestyle. One important aspect that arises from this definition of social change and its impact on human experience is the formation of a newly constructed self-image and identity. In essence, the concept of modernity differentiates the modern person from the traditional individual. Such newly founded freedom in connection to modernity involved an experience and ...

Introduction

At times, industries require the temperatures to be kept below the ambient for some processes to be effective. To do so, they must design ways to eliminate the excess heat generated by machines and introduce an artificial room temperature lower than the ambient. They must effectively eliminate temperatures above the ambient. A refrigerator is thus required in these operations. This refers to a device that can maintain the temperature below the ambient. The primary objective of a refrigeration process is to lower the temperature through heat removal. Since its invention, refrigeration has seen used in many industrial and household ...

Q1 People, especially children, internalize what they see in the environment and imitate it. In this regard, a child will behave the way adults do in the environment. Moreover, one can learn by the process of association (classical conditioning) or adopts behaviors depending on reinforcement. Q2 The emotional learning system focuses on one’s understanding of the immediate experiences. In this regard, one chooses how to behave based on critical and constructive thinking. Events that may lead to emotional responses may include reaction to stressful environments or happiness. Q3 Emotion determines one’s way of reacting to events. It ...

Human relations and behavior play fundamental roles in a human service setting.

Pavlov applies surgical techniques to those dogs that is why it was difficult to make the ...

Albert Bandura was a prominent researcher who advanced a key behavioral theory that he later referred to as social cognitive theory, or SCT. The cornerstone of SCT is that people learn via observation (Denler et al., 2014, p. 1). Moreover, Bandura states that people’s personalities are not only molded or shaped by their environment, but people also affect their environment (Denler et al., 2014, p. 1). Thus, Bandura takes classical conditioning and operant conditioning one step further by asserting that there is a multi-faceted interaction between a person, their environment, and subsequent behaviors (Denler et al., 2014, p. ...

Stand-alone Power Supply and Heating Systems

An individual’s carbon footprint is mainly decided by energy consumed to run various household appliances and energy used for home heating. Electric power supplied to grid-connected households is mostly derived from fossil fuels, and thus leads to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. However, homes in remote areas cannot afford grid power supply, and they use renewable natural sources available to them such as solar power, wind power, hydroelectric power or geothermal energy. Even, houses that can be connected to the power grid can opt for stand-alone power systems to reduce GHG emissions. Most common form of off-grid power system ...

One of the leading issues we have today is our consumption of energy. Worldwide energy consumption is leading to increased air pollution, and has a negative effect on every living thing on this planet. The article “The Efficiency Dilemma” discusses the current situation we are in with regards to energy consumption. It points out that as everything gets more energy efficient, more people start using things and more things that need energy are created, thereby cancelling out the effects of more energy efficiency. No matter how one looks at it, our energy consumption is increasing worldwide; the vicious cycle ...

Introduction

Over time, the growth of a city of a locality leads to the increase in the demand for electricity. The growth in population and the commercial activity puts pressure on the national grid. Without commensurate investments in the generation of power, the increase in demand results in shortages. To supplement the shortage of electricity in the region, more power can be brought in from the generation sources. However, this is complicated if the power generation plants are located far away. This is because more high voltage overhead transmission lines would be required. The Ministry for the Environment (2010) finds ...

Introduction

The true nature of classical conditioning lies in the responding with some action for some stimulus caused by artificial cause. The earliest researches of classical conditioning were conducted by Russian scientists Pavlov, who proved that if we ring the bell every time before we feed the dog, it associate the bell with the process of feeding, so in some period of such a repeated action the dog starts drooling as the same stimulus make him think that he is going to be fed now (Schmajuk, 2008). So in simple words, the classical conditioning is about attaching one stimulus from ...

The reinforcement strategies applied in team members’ organizations.

Introduction: In almost every organization today, employees are often organized in teams. It is also a common observation that team members and leaders will always want to be appreciated for the work they do. Teams generally comprise of members with unique skill sets, competencies and management skills working under a team leader, and their combined effort is expected to lead to organizational growth. However, teams do not always work as expected even if all members are qualified for the task and thus, there is a need to reinforce their behavior and actions. The reinforcement theory was first proposed by ...
