PLEASE DO ITLL MEAN THE WORLD
Each social media update must be clearly labeled and typed in a word-processing document. When formulating your five updates, make sure to include one supporting detail from the lesson for each of your updates. Even as you write from the perspective of the theorist, share thoughts about your theory. After writing all five updates, write a threesentence.explanation for each update. Explain the reason you chose the event or thought expressed in the update and tie it to the lesson.
USE ( IVAN PAVLOV )
Example:
B. F. Skinner
Update 1: I designed a great machine today to train rats! Now I need to go and buy some more rat food.
Explanation:
The status update I wrote included the machine Skinner designed; he developed a cage for rats that provided continuous reinforcement. I mentioned the rat food because he used this in the cage. Skinner was one of the theorists covered in the lesson about behavior based on reinforcement. His work was vital to the study of behaviorism and psychology.
1. Smartphone Tones and Vibes
If you've ever been in a public area and heard a familiar notification chime, this classical conditioning example will certainly ring true for you. You hear that tone and instinctively reach for your smartphone, only to realize it's coming from someone else's phone.
The chime or tone is a neutral stimulus. Through classical conditioning, you've come to associate it with the positive feeling of reading a message. It's the same reason why you might reach for your phone when you think you feel it vibrating in your pocket, even if it isn't.
2. Celebrities in Advertising
Celebrity endorsements are nothing new. Advertisers are taking advantage of our positive associations with these celebrities in order to sell more products and services. Michael Jordan doesn't have anything to do directly with Nike shoes, just as Jennifer Aniston isn't inherently linked to Smartwater.
Potential customers then see a bottle of Smartwater and start to experience the same positive feelings as when they see Jennifer Aniston.
3. Restaurant Aromas
Many real-world classical conditioning examples are near perfect parallels for Pavlov's original experiment. When you're greeted with the familiar smell of pizza fresh out of the oven, you might already start salivating, even before you take your first bite. The aroma of the food to come serves the same role as Pavlov's ringing bell.
4. Fear of Dogs
As a child, let's say you walked the same route to school each day. As you passed a particular house, a dog in the yard would bark loudly at you, bearing its teeth. This is a frightening experience, particularly as a young child. Prior to this, dogs were a fairly neutral stimulus.
Years later, you may experience a case of spontaneous recovery. You may not even remember the childhood dog specifically, but as you walk past a similar-looking house with a "beware of dog" sign on the fence, you get unnerved and start to tremble.
5. A Good Report Card
The report card that you get from school, on its own, is nothing more than a piece of paper. It's also true that the fundamentals of behaviorism can be used to improve academic performance. Maybe each time you brought home a great report card, your parents would take you out for dinner at your favorite restaurant. Or, they'd shower you with praise.
Then, the next time you receive a good report card, you already well up with happy emotions, even before you bring it home to show your parents. That's because you're already anticipating those positive consequences.
