Question

psychology unit 2 - learning part 1 - learn - classical conditioning do now directions: think! what is the first behavior you remember learning? go back as far as you can. what was the behavior? how old were you and how did you learn it? explain below in 2 - 3 sentences. what is the first behavior you learned? step 1: digital activity - watch each video and answer the questions in this step, you need to watch one of the videos below and answer the questions that follow. you will receive extra credit if you complete both. video 1 - classical conditioning - youtube 1. why test on animals in psychology? what is the connection to humans? (0:10) 2. do dogs have a natural response to a bell? what is the bell called? (0:30) 3. what is rovers natural response to food? what is it called? (1:00) 4. classical conditioning is achieved by connecting or pairing together 2 different stimuli. in this example what are the 2 stimuli that are repeatedly connected? (1:45) 5. eventually, rover will salivate not just to food, but to a conditioned stimulus. what is the conditioned stimulus in this example? (2:00) video 2 - crash course psychology - how to train the brain - only watch this video up to the 5:30 mark. do not watch the segment on operant conditioning. 1. where was pavlov born? (0:30) 2. what kind of animals did pavlov begin research on? (1:00) 3. what is associative learning? (2:00) 4. in pavlovs classical conditioning experiment what 2 things (stimuli) were repeatedly paired together until the dog connected them together? (2:30) 5. who performed the little albert experiment? what did the experiment prove? (4:30) step 3: exit ticket in this step, answer the prompts in the google form below to make a connection between the new material learned today and your life. it is commonly suggested that in classical conditioning, humans and animals learn by \making connections\. what does this mean? use the terms \stimulus\ and
esponse\ in your answer.

Explanation:

1. Testing on animals in psychology can provide insights applicable to humans as many basic biological and behavioral processes are similar. It allows for controlled experiments that might be unethical on humans.
2. Dogs do not have a natural response to a bell. The bell is called a neutral stimulus initially.
3. Rover's natural response to food is salivation, which is called an unconditioned response.
4. In the example, the two stimuli repeatedly connected are the bell (neutral stimulus) and food (unconditioned stimulus).
5. The conditioned stimulus in this example is the bell, as Rover starts to salivate to it after conditioning.

For Video 2:

1. Pavlov was born in Ryazan, Russia.
2. Pavlov began research on dogs.
3. Associative learning is the process by which an organism makes connections between stimuli or between stimuli and responses.
4. In Pavlov's experiment, the bell (neutral stimulus) and food (unconditioned stimulus) were repeatedly paired.
5. The Little Albert experiment was performed by John B. Watson and Rosalie Rayner. It proved that emotional responses can be classically - conditioned in humans.

For the Exit Ticket: In classical conditioning, humans and animals learn by making connections between a neutral stimulus and an unconditioned stimulus such that the neutral stimulus becomes a conditioned stimulus that elicits a conditioned response similar to the unconditioned response originally elicited by the unconditioned stimulus.

Answer:

1. Testing on animals provides insights applicable to humans due to similar processes and allows for controlled experiments.
2. No natural response; neutral stimulus.
3. Salivation; unconditioned response.
4. Bell and food.
5. Bell.

Video 2:

1. Ryazan, Russia.
2. Dogs.
3. Process of making connections between stimuli or stimuli - response.
4. Bell and food.
5. John B. Watson and Rosalie Rayner; emotional responses can be classically - conditioned in humans.

Exit Ticket: Organisms connect neutral and unconditioned stimuli so neutral becomes conditioned and elicits a similar response.
