1) We can use Operant and Classical Conditioning to change the behavior of people and animals. Drawing on your personal experience, choose a person or animal whose behavior you want to change. (You may select your own behavior for this question if you wish.) How could you use Operant and Classical Conditioning to change the behavior of this person or animal? Make sure you use both to explain, not just one. (Your answer must be 200 words or more)

2.)Are there any other guidelines for maintaining a healthy relationship? A study that compared happily married couples with unhappily married couples found that in almost every regard, the happily married couples showed superior communication skills. Three patterns that are almost always related to serious long-term problems in relationships are defensiveness (including whining), stubbornness, and refusal to talk with your partner (the “big freeze”) (Gottman & Krokoff, 1989).

We all make mistakes in relationships.Many couples find that communication is facilitated by observing and following guidelines that have been provided for you in Chapter 11. Which mistakes do you think are more common? Which do you think are gender specific? (Your answer must be 200 words or more)

OPERANT AND CLASSICAL CONDITIONING

2

Introduction
Operant conditioning is a method used to instill behavioral change in organisms through
use of awards or punishment. For instance, an action involving a dog rolling over as commanded
is due to the fact that such an action attracted praises in the past. A child who has been threatened
by her parents to get punished if she does not get good grades in school can lead to her achieving
better grades. In other words, the person or organism learns from the repercussions of their own
deeds. On the other hand, classical conditioning entails associating new stimuli with naturally
and biologically occurring responses such as salivation and panic. Therefore, it does not involve
the organism or person learning new things but starts to act in an existent behavior in the
presence of a new signal.
