Classical conditioning is where a neutral stimulus becomes associated with a meaningful stimulus, eventually triggering a similar response. Operant conditioning is where the frequency of a behavior depends on the consequence that follows that behavior. Social observational learning is where someone is learning from behavior of others.

Classical Conditioning - When I was in middle school, I’d always take naps after school. So eventually my dad started giving me chores to do to stop sleeping afterschool. Now that I am a little older I cant seem to fall asleep after school because I’m so used to being overworked with choruses after school.

Operant conditioning - Once upon a time ago, my family and I went to my cousins birthday we went to chucky cheeses. I threw the biggest hissy fit because I couldn’t go in the little tornado ticket machine. My mom was so fed up she spanked me, and told me if I ever threw another hissy fit that it’ll happen again. From that point on I don’t think I ever threw a hissy fit.

Social observational learning - one time, (when I was around like 7) my mom and I went to Target for some groceries. One of the isles we went down there was a kid around my age, who was literally making the biggest fool out of himself. I felt so bad for the mom because of how poorly the kid was acting, so based off of that kids action I’ve learned to not act a bafoon in public.

I learned not to drive like a crazy psychopath from seeing how my dad drives

I learned to rather be safe then sorry when driving due to witnessing people being careless while driving

I learned not to act like a hooligan in public places by seeing how other kids act

I learned to respect retail workers and their spaces.

I learned how to serve receive by watching liberos pass

I learned how to take a full approach by watching my coach hit.

I learned that body posture effects how people see you

I learned that “gentle parenting” doesn’t work

I learned that communication in any relationship is key by watching my friends not communicate with their friends/significant others

I learned that hate gets you nowhere but lost

I learned that where you prioritize your learning effects you life in the end

I learned to see that the way how people (especially guys) treat their moms is how they will treat their partners

I learned how to tie my shoe by watching my dad.

Watching my mom cut my nails I learned how to cut mine.
