operant conditioning: A type of learning in which the frequency of a behavior depends on the consequence that follows the behavior.

choice—> consequence—> learning

social observational learning: learning from the behavior of others.

2. relating to the operant conditioning: when i use to go to the doctor before i switched to a different one, everytime we had to get shots we wouldn’t let them do what they needed to so in order to get us to do it they would give us a sucker after any doctor visits. that encouraged me to want to let the doctors do their checkup or whatever they needed to do, and then i knew i would get a sucker afterwards. it positively reinforced me by giving me a lollipop so i would let the doctor do her job without struggling.

   relating to classical conditioning: when me and my family years ago were about to walk the dog we would always call him over by the closet that had his leash in it now triggering a response every time we walk over to the closet and open the closet door. therefore he is use to knowing that when its time for him to go on a walk we will go and wait for him at the closet door.

   relating to social observational learning: babies when they are born dont know how to act when they get hurt, the way someone reacts impact the way the babies pick up the behaviors so like an example is that if a baby hits their heads and you laugh they will also laugh because they aren’t aware it hurts. if you start acting like their hurt then they will typically cry based on the behavior you input.

1st experiment

operant conditioning: how does operant conditioning affect someone’s process ? it affects it because it remains as a neutral stimulus ( NS) which initially doesn’t trigger anything. Let’s say you put a baby who is like four months old and for whatever reason you sit them down. if they roll to the side and fall over and you worry they will most likely have a conditioned stimulus ( CS) where based on that moment they will remember that if they tip over and mom worries that means “ oh no im hurt and when im hurt i cry” causing a conditioned stimulus at that point. and making them have the mindset that if they fall mom will pay attention to me.

social observational learning: how does S.O.L affect someone? it affects them because based on the way a child sees their parent act, that will trigger a memory and train them to do or have the same habits their parents did. Ex. Mom goes on the highway and starts speeding every time they’re on the highway way, later on you drive and you also speed up because your mom does.

example 1

vanessa was outside and spent the day outside on the hot sun during summer. vanessa felt dizzy but brushed it off and continued to go on the rides, she waits in line for a ride and passes out. she later learned she got heat exhaustion.

example 2

fulanito was hungry so he went and opened the fridge to look for something to eat. when looking for something to eat then he found left overs from 3 days ago when they went out to eat. him thinking that the food was still good he ate it and it tasted weird to him so he got sick and got food poisoning . now everytime he sees left overs in the fridge he does not want to eat them with the fear of getting sick, and he often feels nauseous.

US: expired leftovers

UR: sick/ food poisoning

NS: seeing left overs in the fridge

CR: now he feels sick and nauseous when he sees left overs.

example 3

a 19y/o girl was driving and get pulled over by the cops. when she gets pulled over she gets questioned because she was speeding over the speed limit then what you’re supposed to go with. when they do the testing they shine the light on her eyes to see if her pupils are dialated or not and by doing so she stars blinking a lot. when she did that she kept blinking so she could see and not feel blind. she ended up just speeding on accident and got the speeding ticket and left unhappy.

US: flashlight shined in her eyes.

UR: blinked a lot so she could see

NS:bright light shining in her eyes

CR: she stared blinking

social observational learning alike article:

this article talks about learning styles based on the way you talk is the way it is seen by others. when you talk it an informative mater you remain with that impression that you are informative often wanting you to talk the same way to the “ imformative” person. if someone talks in a joking manner you learn to talk to them also in a joking manner. “ and yet a lot of people hold on to the idea that the learning styles are important and meaningful. school pus learning styles..” and yes it it lowkey true that they do pus learning manners because schools are often social observational learning areas where you often learn that the way you speak should be in a smart and respectful manner and not in a poorly disrespectful manner. the basic concept of this article is that areas like school, home and many other places impact the way you’re willing to communicate with others depending where you are at. the social observational learning areas depend a to areound you you are with. if you’re with a parent you will learn many of thier things that end up being pushing factors.
