Applying Classical Conditioning
Classical
conditioning is a form of associative learning, learning produced by pairing of
stimuli and responses in time and place.
It contributes to likes and dislikes, emotional reactions, and
reflex-like responses to things. Below,
explain the situation being described in terms of classical conditioning. For each description, identify or suggest the
US , UR
1. While caring for a friend’s dog, you notice
that it displays a fear-like posture as you roll up a newspaper. You try this several times more and become
convinced that this dog is generally afraid of rolled-up newspapers.
2. Joan, an animal trainer, has been phobic
about monkeys since an earlier attack.
However, because of the money, she has agreed to work with monkeys for a
movie studio. At first, just going
anywhere near cages makes Joan tense, sweaty, and apprehensive. Lately, though, things have changed. Working with such cuddly, affectionate,
human-like creatures is causing Joan to wonder why she ever felt such extreme
distress.
3. At a red light, Bob and Fred automatically
tensed and felt chills when they heard the screech of tires behind them. Later, while watching a car race, Bob
remarked how the screeching of tires was having little effect then. Fred agreed and wondered why they reacted at
all, because neither had as much as a dent on his driving record.
4. Early in their relationship, the mere sight
of Donna excited Jack. This gradually
died out, however, as Donna behaved tolerantly but indifferently. When the relationship ended, Jack was bored
with Donna and didn’t even think about her for the next year. Now, he was surprised at how excited he was
becoming as he saw Donna through the window of a bus.
5. Bill couldn’t ever remember being so sick and
nauseated. He would never go to that
restaurant again, and he would never again eat chicken. All he could think about was the good dinner
his mother would prepare for his homecoming.
As he entered the kitchen, be became flushed and felt nauseated when he
saw the golden brown turkey sitting on the table.
Classical
Conditioning in the Real World
Identify
the components of classical conditioning in each of the following examples.

2. Calvin was chased and assaulted by an
aggressive rooster when he was just barely three years old. As an adult he still gets little blips in his
stomach when he hears the word rooster,
and he claims that birds make him nervous.

Why do all birds make Calvin
nervous?
Why does the word “rooster” cause
him to have belly blips?
3. When Jim met Judy, it was love at first
sight. Jim cannot explain why it is that
Judy turns him on because he knows girls who are prettier and who have more
outstanding personalities. At their
wedding, a perceptive family friend commented that there is something about
Judy that reminds her of Jim’s mother; maybe it is the way she smiles, or the
pattern of freckles across her nose.

Learning
Self Test FOR HOMEWORK
For each situation below, indicate whether it
is an example of:
a.
classical conditioning
b.
operant conditioning
c.
insight
d.
observational learning
1. Susie is a four-year-old child. One day she watches her mother vacuum the
living room. Her mother comments to
Susie, “Doesn’t the living room look nice now that I’ve cleaned it?” The next day, her mother finds Susie
“vacuuming” the living room with her toy vacuum.
2. You are thinking of asking the teacher
for an extension on your paper. Just as
you are about to go up to the teacher, another student approaches the teacher
with the same request. The teacher
appears angry, and very loudly and rudely turns down the student’s request for
an extension. You decide not to ask for an extension.
3. Until she was eight, Barbara liked
cats. When she was eight, she was bitten
through the hand by a cat as she tried to get it out from under a bed. This was an upsetting experience. Since that
time, Barbara experiences anxiety whenever she is near a cat.
4. Alison, age four, needs to learn to
speak up louder in class. Her parents
and teacher agree that whenever Alison speaks up loudly in class, she will get
a star on her chart. Whenever she
accumulates 25 stars, she will get to go to Baskin-Robbins for ice cream. Alison starts speaking up in class more
frequently.
5. Scott, age six, has difficulty in
reaching clothes hanging from the clothes bar in his closet because the clothes
bar is too high. He figures out that if
hangers simply had longer necks, he would be able to manage with the clothes
bar at the current height. Working with
his father, he creates a set of long-necked hangers and enters them in the
“Invent America
6. Tom is hammering nails into planks to
build a fence. He experiments with
holding the nail a different way and immediately hits his thumb with the
hammer. OUCH! He continues his work, but he never holds the
nail that way again.
7. It is summer time. Sarah and Jeremy are in love. They enjoy
being together and are thoroughly relaxed and content in each other’s
presence. The hit song that summer is
“Buckets of Love” and they hear that song a lot when they are together. At the end of the summer, they have to return
to their separate colleges, which are quite far apart. That fall, every time Sarah hears the tune
“Buckets of Love,” she experiences the same feelings of relaxation and
contentment that she felt when she was with Jeremy.
In the following examples, identify which is
being used to control behavior:
a.
positive reinforcement
b.
negative reinforcement
c.
punishment
d.
extinction
8. The smoke detector in Jesse’s house is running
low on batteries. It emits an annoying chirp every few seconds. Jesse installs a new battery so it will stop
making that noise.
9. Dr. Smith, a Doe College
10. Robert
puts $0.85 in the Coke machine to buy his daily Coke. Today, nothing comes out,
and he does not get his money back.
Robert does not put any more money in the machine.
11. Jeff
is playing with his food at the dinner table.
His mother tells him to stop playing with his food. When he does not stop, she takes his food
away, leaving Jeff hungry all night.
Jeff never plays with his food again.
12. Jeff
is playing with his food at the dinner table while his parents are trying to
carry on an adult conversation. When his
mother notices what Jeff is doing, she stops talking with her husband and
directs her attention to Jeff. She yells
at him to stop playing with his food, and says that playing with his food is a
horrible and disgusting habit. Jeff plays with his food again several times
during that meal, and even more frequently the next night.
13. Jeff
is diligently working on an art project at school. His teacher notices how
nicely he is working and praises him loudly for his efforts. Jeff immediately seems less interested
working on his project. The teacher
praises the little bits he completes as time goes on, and Jeff stops working on
the art project entirely.
For each example given, identify the

15. When
Trudy was four, Trudy did not have any particular reaction to, or interest in,
yardsticks. From the time she was five

Trudy becomes very upset every time she sees a yardstick.
