PSY 420 Wk 2 Discussion – Classical Conditioning

Post a total of 3 substantive responses over 2 separate days for full participation. This includes your initial post and 2 replies to other students.

Due Thursday

Respond to the following in a minimum of 175 words:

Classical conditioning involves producing a response from a stimulus that previously did not produce that response. This kind of conditioning happens in everyday life, but we may not recognize it. Think about why your dog might be wagging his or her tail when you park your car in the garage, or why you may experience fear with the sight of a needle. These experiences are results of classical conditioning.

Discuss your answers to these questions with your classmates:

  • What is an example of classical conditioning in your life?

  • In your example, which elements are the unconditioned stimulus (US), unconditioned response (UR), conditioned stimulus (CS), and conditioned response (CR)? Why?

  • How can you adapt your example to include higher order conditioning?

Due Monday
