Ivan Pavlov

Classical Conditioning

By: Mark Joseph D. Paguta


What do you feel when you
see the following pictures?
Those pictures resulted in a certain emotion in us because we
associated them with something else.

For example:
Index cards were associated with oral exams
Belts were associated with being punished
Pictures of mangoes were associated with the taste of real mangoes.
Objectives
1. Discuss the assumptions of Ivan
Pavlov’s Classical Conditioning.
2. Describe Pavlov’s contribution in
the field of education.
Ivan Pavlov (1849 – 1936)
 Russian physiologist credited for
his work on classical
conditioning
 Originally studied salivation in
dogs
 Considered himself as a
physiologist and not a
psychologist
Classical Conditioning
A stimulus is any event,
situation, or object that
evokes a response.

The term response refers


to a behavior that was
the result of a stimulus.
Classical Conditioning
In classical conditioning, two stimuli are linked together to
produce a new learned response in a person or animal.
Classical Conditioning
Was based on an animal experiment conducted by Ivan
Pavlov involving dogs

It usually involves the learning of involuntary responses –


responses over which the organism has no control.
Elements of Classical Conditioning
Neutral Stimulus (NS)

Unconditioned Response (UR)


Unconditioned Stimulus (US)

Conditioned Stimulus (CS) Conditioned Response (CR)


Elements of Classical Conditioning

1. Neutral Stimulus (NS)


a stimulus to which an
organism doesn’t respond
Elements of Classical Conditioning
2. Unconditioned Stimulus (US)
3. Unconditioned Response (UR)
a stimulus which leads to a
the organism’s response to the
response (muscular or
US
glandular) without any learning
taking place

SEATWORK

1. Identify the elements of classical conditioning in the situations


that follow.
2. Write your answers on a sheet of paper.
Elements of Classical Conditioning
Example:

1. An experimenter sounds a tone just before delivering an


air puff to your blinking eye. After several repetitions,
you blink to the tone alone.
What is the US? The UR? The CS? The CR?
Elements of Classical Conditioning
Example:

2. If the aroma of cake baking sets your mouth to water,


what is the US? The UR? The CS? The CR?
Elements of Classical Conditioning
Example:

3. A year ago, Ben had some oysters and the following


day, he had a stomach flu. Since then, he does not
eat oysters at all – just smelling them or thinking about
eating them makes him feel nauseated.

Classical Conditioning in the Classroom
If a student associates negative emotional experiences
with school, then this can obviously have bad results,
such as creating a school phobia.

For example, if a student is bullied at school they may


learn to associate the school with fear. It could also
explain why some students show a particular dislike of
certain subjects that continue throughout their
academic career. This could happen if a student is
humiliated or punished in class by a teacher.
Classical Conditioning in the Classroom
Thus, classical conditioning suggests that as teachers,
we should provide positive experiences in the
classroom such as, a conducive learning environment,
happy and fulfilling classroom experiences, and good
interpersonal relationships with others, so that the
students would associate learning with these positive
experiences.
