Behaviorism. An empirically rigorous science focused on observable behaviors and NOT unobservable internal mental processes.
Classical conditioning is a type of learning where the organism learns to associate two stimuli. ... Through classical conditioning the neutral stimulus is then associated to become the conditioned stimulus, causing a conditioned response. The conditioned response is reinforced as the process is repeated.Feb 12, 2022
What happened after "Little Albert" was classically conditioned to fear a tame white rat? Stimulus generalization occurred; Albert responded with fear to other furry animals and fuzzy objects.

Basically, just like a computer crashes, our brain shuts down, drastically limiting our ability to process all that is coming in. We often speak about this as being, or feeling overwhelmed or anxious.Jun 29, 2021
The classical conditioning process is all about pairing a previously neutral stimulus with another stimulus that naturally produces a response. After pairing the presentation of these two together enough times, an association is formed. The previously neutral stimulus will then evoke the response all on its own.Aug 21, 2020
Skinner showed how positive reinforcement worked by placing a hungry rat in his Skinner box. The box contained a lever on the side, and as the rat moved about the box, it would accidentally knock the lever. Immediately it did so a food pellet would drop into a container next to the lever.
A neutral stimulus is a stimulus that at first elicits no response. Pavlov introduced the ringing of the bell as a neutral stimulus. An unconditioned stimulus is a stimulus that leads to an automatic response. In Pavlov's experiment, the food was the unconditioned stimulus.Aug 27, 2021

Punishment decreases a behavior either positively, by say, giving a speeding ticket, or negatively, by taking away a driver’s license. But negative reinforcement removes the punishing event to increase a behavior. So, painkillers negatively reinforce the behavior of swallowing them by ending the headache.
Even though today we view psychology as the science of both behavior AND mental processes, Pavlov’s influence was tremendous. His research helped pave the path for more experimental rigor in behavioral research, right up to the present day. Born in 1849 in Russia, Pavlov was never much for psychology.
Animals, he found, can exhibit associative learning. That’s when a subject links certain events, behaviors, or stimuli together in the process of conditioning. This may be the most elemental, basic form of learning a brain can do. But that doesn’t mean that the processes behind conditioning are, or ever were, obvious.
Pavlov’s work suggested that classical conditioning -- as this kind of learning came to be known -- could be an adaptive form of learning that helps an animal survive by changing its behavior to better suit its environment. In this case, a bell means food, and food means survival. So get ready!
This is a process called extinction. And it is important, because that’s how real life works. Outside of a Skinner box, you’re not gonna get continuous reinforcement. All of life is a series of partial, or intermittent reinforcements, that occur only sometimes.
