Reflective Essay – October 22, 2022

I chose the topic about Classical Conditioning or also known as
Pavlovian or respondent conditioning.
I chose this because I can more relate with this as a teacher and as a
mother I always use the unconditioned stimulus (UCS), unconditioned
response (UCR), neutral stimulus (NS), conditioned stimulus (CS) and
conditioned response (CR) to my children and to my students. These
principles can influence human health, emotion, motivation, and therapy
of psychological disorders and there are many clinically related uses of
classical conditioning. The influence of classical conditioning can be
seen in responses such as phobias, disgust, nausea, anger and sexual
arousal. A familiar example is conditioned nausea, in which the sight or
smell of a particular food causes nausea because it caused stomach upset
in the past.
