.: 3rd Reflection :.

This is our third reflection from the last class, in this chapter we learned about Behaviorism and Classical Conditioning. At the beginning we have been introduced with the basic assumption of behaviorism. Then we moved to the Classical conditioning. We sure that most of you familiar with those terms, because we will play all over those words when we go through this chapter.

1. Unconditional Stimulus (UCS)
2. Unconditional Response (UCR)
3. Natural Stimulus (NS)
4. Natural Response (NR)
5.Conditional Stimulus (CS)
6. Conditional Response (CR)

Firstly, we went through the classical conditioning model discovered by Ivan Pavlov.

Based on the classical conditioning theory we can understand how people learn of involuntary response. we can sees the example of human learning on "Little Albert" cases.

Poor Little Albert. It was reported that Little Albert also responded similar fearful manner to a rabbit, dog, and a Santa Clause mask with fuzzy beard. 

We also learned about Higher- Order Conditioning which is, Conditioned stimulus - response associated sometimes piggy-back on one another. For example;

Lastly, we have been exposed with sensory preconditioning which means; one stimulus- response association builds on another, but the steps occur in different order. For example:
