Operant conditioning

I think that one of my favorite consepts that we have learned this year in Psychology is Operant conditioning. I think that it is one of the most common concepts used in society. Most people use this concept without even knowing exactly what it is. Operant conditioning is learning in which a voluntary response is strengthened or weakened based upon its favorable or unfavorable response. Alot of parents do this with their children. Awarding a child for getting good grades or punishing them for bad ones. another common use of operant conditioning is trainging a dog. giving the dog a treat when it does something good or scolding him when he does something bad are both examples of this concept.

Classical condition

In this blog I am going to discuss classical conditioning. One of the most basic examples of classical conditoning is when a student is in grade school or high school they knew that they were done with class. When I was in high school fifth and sixth periods where cut in half for students to have lunch. I had lunch sixth period and class fifth period. the bell would ring halfway through the periods to let the students know that they were going to lunch. during my fifth period when I had a full class period the bell would ring to let the kids know to go to lunch and I would be conditioned to leave class when I heard the bell ring. this would cause me to constantly get up and start to leave halfway through my full class period.

macgyver was the best problem solver in the world. Everyone solves problems in different ways. The way someone solves a problem is based on their personality. Problem solving is around us everywhere. In my personal life I encounter many different problems within one day. everything I do has a problem somewhere in it. Whether its doing homework or driving or even playing veideo games. I think that the most common problem I encounter is time management. I think that when everyone wakes up in the morning the find the problem of trying to figure out how they are going to get everything done in one day.
