Dr. R Says...
If you can’t understand why you feel a certain way when you know you shouldn’t, it is because rewards and punishment did not teach your how to feel.

behavioral psychologists have come up with new views
0:03
that only a animal behavior but of human nature as well
0:08
and he’s using all concern the process that we take for granted burdette
0:13
because we are all truly born to learn
0:18
ironically one of the most important figures in the study of learning ivan
0:21
pavlov
0:23
wasn’t concern with the subject at all at least not at first
0:27
pavlov unloaded russian scientists won the nobel prize for physiology in
0:31
medicine in nineteen oh four
0:34
as this original footage shows path lab was initially interested in digestion
0:40
andy action of the strawberry glands
0:43
by diverting the slide of god’s into test tubes
0:46
he could precisely measured if and how much this elevated
0:49
during digestion
0:53
when food was presented the dog celebrated quickly
0:56
and inherited salivary reflex
1:01
but over repeated testings a strange thing happened
1:04
the dog celebrated before contact with the food
1:09
just the sight of the food was enough to stimulate did ruling
1:14
just seeing the food dish or even hearing the footsteps of pavlov or his
1:18
assistants was enough to trigger this built-in reflex
1:24
what was going on to elicit this response pablo decided to find out by
1:29
systematically during the stimuli and measuring the dogs reaction
1:36
metronome lights and bells for ald uses stimuli and the all work as stand-ins
1:41
for the food
1:43
what mattered was not the kind of stimulus that was used for the fact that
1:47
reliably signaled the food was on the way
1:51
way pavlov had discovered a fundamental type of learning or classical
1:56
conditioning
1:58
an original fionnuala soliciting automatic unlearn response both stimulus
2:03
and response happen naturally their unconditionally
2:08
in a second neutral stimulus that nevertheless is the unconditionally
2:13
spots by itself
2:14
is introduced just before the presentation of the original statement
2:18
from
2:25
sp
2:28
if the neutral or signaling stimulus this presented alone in response to
2:33
paris as if the original stimulus was still there
2:36
we say that conditioning has taken place
2:40
arbitrary neutral stimulus becomes a condition stimulus
2:45
the reverse is also true
2:48
pavlov another study the extinction overtime of such conditioned responses
2:55
the subject learns that the conditions stimulus no longer signals a desire to
2:59
ban cc position processes you first
3:03
as the burned connections gradually weaker
3:11
pavlov’s work the work of those who followed him
3:14
led to a remarkable conclusion
3:16
and that is any stimulus an organism can proceed
3:20
is capable of eliciting any reaction the organisms capable of making
3:25
this means that virtue in sound site or smell can influence the way of muscles
3:30
ten so relaxed our moods fluctuate
3:33
or even the way our actions or form
3:36
for instance if i say
3:38
peanuts
3:39
and then do this
3:41
you’re going to be startling upset
3:43
after five and six pairings out
3:45
relax
3:47
just saying the word relax is going to generate negative response rather than
3:52
its usual learned reaction
