Concepts of Classical Conditioning

i was going through my computer and i remembered my previous assignment regarding classical conditioning.

Concepts of Classical Conditioning

1.       Generalization

·         Ali was summoned by a traffic police on the day he drove over the limit, so he had to slow down. After a while, when he sees any police in uniforms, he would slow down driving by the police.

·         Step 1 :                                 NS                                                          NR

         (policeman)                                       (no response)

·         Step 2 :                                 UCS                        +             NS                                          UCR

       (being summoned)                  (policeman)                        (slow down)

·         Step 3 :                 CS                                                                           CR

        (all police)                                                          (slow down)

                     (Generalization)

2.       Extinction

·         Sarah has a cat, named tompok. Everytime she calls her cat ‘meow-meow’, the cat did not come to Sarah. Then she starts calling meow-meow and present the cat ‘friskeys’ (cat food), the cat come for the food. Sarah did that for several times, pairing meow-meow with friskeys. Later, she call meow-meow without presenting the food, the cat still come forward. She repeated this, calling meow-meow without food a lot of times. After a long time, her cat does not come, when she calls out meow-meow without friskeys . Extinction occurs.

·         Step 1 :                                 NS                                                          NR

         (meow-meow)                                (no response)

·         Step 2 :                                 UCS                        +             NS                                          UCR

       (friskeys)                              (meow-meow)                         (cat come)

·         Step 3 :                 CS                                                                           CR

        (meow-meow)                                               (cat come)

·         Step 4 : (after a long time)           CS                                                                           NR

        (meow-meow)                                               (no reponse)

                                                                                                                       EXTINCTION

3.       Spontaneous Recovery

·         Ahmad was a hafiz, he memorize the whole Quran by heart, since he studied in a Tahfiz School. He used to read the Quran and listen to another Qari recite the Quran, so he can memorize it better. After he completed his studies, he’s occupied with his work, therefore did not have time to re-memorize the Quran. As he was listening to the radio one day he listened to the Qari reciting the Quran, he was surprise with himself that he could still remember the ayat as clear as the first day he memorized it.

·         Step 1 :                                 UCS                        +             CS                                           UCR

       (read the Quran)              (listen to Qari)            (memorize the Quran)

·         Step 2 :                 CS                                                                           CR

        (listen to Qari)                                                 (memorize the Quran)

·         Step 3 : (after a long time)                           CS                                                           CR

                                                  (listen to Qari)                                       (still memorize)

                                                                                                                         Spontaneous Recovery

Ever since that, she start to have feeling s for Asyraf, the next time she met Asyraf, he wasn’t wearing the blue tie, but she still have a crush on him.

1 week left

Assalamualaikum,

monitoring group memorizing

Assalamualaikum,

i just realised that we had to monitor our groups progress in memorizing...
we were so busy with the 2nd project that we almost forgot about others' memorization.

after fajr

Assalamualaikum,

may my previous post help better in memorizing.. if you find it hard to wake up early in the middle of the night, then maybe should try after fajr prayer. like i did today when i couldn't wake up at 4.30 even though i've set my alarm clock. due to tiresome this whole week all the due dates and last midterms and tests plus i'm having this weird cold that blocks my nose to make it worst for my concentration.
anyway, when i wake up for fajr, i still have time to memorize 2 pages of al-Baqarah for my 8 o'clock class. =) Alhamdulillah it went smooth.

Busy bUsy buSy busY

Assalamualaikum,

busy with assignments due this week, presentation, and hafazan (memorization)  and so on.

i just realised that the best time to start memorising is before fajr, around 4.30 am. when there were no lights and no other noise. it was peaceful. that is the perfect time to memorize. our brain functions well when we are calm ...
try it.. at the same time we could wake up for tahajjud as well....
