This study helped determine "whether interference can cause dramatic forgetting that is subsequently reversed when retrieval cues are provided" (p. 462). The study assisted the researchers in understanding how the brain manipulates conditioned responses to cues which can also be interfered with. The manner in which the article will provide support for the proposed study is through a better understanding of how classical conditioning works in the brain.

34, Issue 2,
The Pahlavan study determined that there are "two different modes of information processing" that operate in making decisions and copying behavior within the mode of classic conditioning. The manner in which this study will assist the proposed study is through gaining knowledge of how information is processed and applies to making conditioned responses to stimuli.

Operant Conditioning

This research provided date that showed how "operant conditioning behavior opens the door to a wide range of new studies" (p. 1) and also provides information on how other…

This study on NeoBehaviorism showed how previous research "has sought to mathematically describe the relation between operant choice responding and reinforcement" (p. 642). The study will allow the researcher to show the difference between choices that are operant in nature or conditioned in nature.

Moore, J.; (2010) Philosophy of science with special consideration given to behaviorism as the philosophy of the science of behavior, Psychological Record, Vol. 60, Issue 1, pp. 137 -- 150

This study provided background information on the science of behaviorism and its history. It was intended to "prepare readers for subsequent discussions on behaviorism, cognitive psychology, and the meaning of mental terms" (p. 137). Information from this study will provide a broader understanding of the background of behaviorism and its future.

Classical Conditioning Discuss the four basic phenomena of classical conditioning Classical conditioning is one of the most famous forms of behavioral 'learning.' It is epitomized in the experiment of Pavlov's dog. The dog was conditioned to salivate at the sound of a bell because the dog associated eating with that particular noise. "Classical conditioning involves placing a neutral signal before a naturally occurring reflex" (Cherry 2011). The signal is located in the

Classical Conditioning Pavlov's Roommate Classical conditioning involves the association of two stimuli. The most well-known example of classical conditioning involves Pavlov's salivation experiments with dogs. Not to compare my roommate too strongly with animals, but he is also very fond of food. He is also a little bit of a mooch. Therefore, I chose to imitate Pavlov and use food for my conditioning. In this experiment the unconditioned stimulus (UCS) is the smell

Classical Conditioning The subject of conditioning is something that has been established and proven for quite some time. Many point solely or at least mainly to Pavlov's Dog. However, there is a litany of other examples and situations that can be identified as conditioning and thus are worthy of further review. Even though Pavlov will not be the focus in this report, Pavlov did set the tone for what was picked

Classical Conditioning Is the First

The dogs had learned to associate the bell tone with food. The results of Pavlov's experiment indicate that responses to certain stimuli are learned, and that we make connections which can cause responses from a naturally occurring stimulus to be elicited by a neutral stimulus. In the above example, the food is the unconditioned stimulus, and the unconditioned response is salivating to the food, because food naturally results in

Classical Conditioning and Phobia Treatment
Words: 2382 Length: 8 Document Type: Term Paper

Since phobia can be developed through classical conditioning, many experts reason that the same conditioning techniques would be useful in helping people get over their phobia. Phobics usually manage their fears by avoiding the objects that make them fearful. However, many psychologists maintain that avoidance merely magnifies the phobia. The task is therefore to expose the person to the feared object, to condition them to respond to the object in an

Classical Conditioning Marketers make extensive use of classical conditioning techniques. In brief, classical conditioning combines a stimulus with an unconditioned response and a stimulus with no conditioned response. Through repetition of this combination, it is expected that eventually the stimulus that previously had no response would now have a response, that being the conditioned response (PsychPost, 2012). Through the use of these techniques, marketers elicit specific responses in consumers. Repetition is
