Classical Conditioning Assignment
Classical conditioning is a form of learning in which the subject develops a particular response to a stimulus that would otherwise be nuetral, without being paired with a stimulus that is not neutral and elicits an automatic response. In other words, the subject generates a response that wouldn't naturally occur as a result of associating a neutral stimulus with a nonneutral stimulus.
Classical conditioning occurs daily in our lives but we don't think about it. Examples of this classical conditioning concept can be found throughout our lives in many different ways.
One of the most obvious real world examples of classical conditioning is it's use in the media. Here is how:
Unconditioned stimulus: Paradise or the pretty woman
Conditioned Stimulus: Corona
Unconditioned Response: Happiness or excitement to paradise or the pretty woman
Conditioned response: Happiness or excitement to Corona
Assignment: Your assignment is to find an example of classical conditioning in your everyday life.
You should find a visual aid to represent it and label the US, CS, UR CR as done in the example above.

Methods of Learning: Classical, Operant, Modeling
There are three ways psychologists categorize the way we learn. They are classical conditioning, operant conditioning, and through shaping or what we will call modeling. Below are some clips that describe some of these.
