Acquisition Procedures in Daily Life
|
One reason that many people have difficulty estimating the effect of classical conditioning in their lives is that they are not aware of the many instances in which we are being exposed to an acquisition procedure. This goal of this assignment is to sensitize you to such instances. I want you to describe 3 such instances that you or other people are exposed to an acquisition procedure. Describe the situation, explain why it is a classical conditioning procedure, and then classify it as being either a delay, simultaneous, trace, or temporal conditioning procedure. (Remember that some situations could be a combination of temporal and another procedure.) |
