PSYCHOLOGY OF EMOTIONS

Detailed explanation-1: -Disliking food: A child sees their parent express disgust at a particular food and begins to dislike that food as well. This is an example of vicarious classical conditioning, as the child has learned to associate the food with a negative emotion (disgust) through observing their parent’s reaction.

Detailed explanation-2: -In Pavlov’s experiment, the food was the unconditioned stimulus. An unconditioned response is an automatic response to a stimulus. The dogs salivating for food is the unconditioned response in Pavlov’s experiment. A conditioned stimulus is a stimulus that can eventually trigger a conditioned response.

Detailed explanation-3: -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.

Detailed explanation-4: -The basic concept behind operant conditioning is that a stimulus (antecedent) leads to a behavior, which then leads to a consequence. This form of conditioning involves reinforcers, both positive and negative, as well as primary, secondary, and generalized.
