Transcript
- 0:14Speaker 1: Welcome back to Satanic Youth Kenya. I'm your host, Satanist
- 0:24Speaker 1: Craig Jamin, and today we're we'll be talking about how
- 0:29Speaker 1: conditioned are you? Are you conditioned? You know, many people
- 0:36Speaker 1: walk around the society not knowing they themselves are conditioned
- 0:42Speaker 1: to a certain response by a certain stimulus, be it
- 0:48Speaker 1: an organization, be it a religion, and even businesses, operations,
- 0:55Speaker 1: and whatever. So, Analyze yourself by using these theories, psychological
- 1:02Speaker 1: theories that we'll be talking about to see if you
- 1:08Speaker 1: are one of the conditioned people or you are free.
- 1:13Speaker 1: You know, people still think that slavery today is about chains. Anyways,
- 1:19Speaker 1: let's start. What is conditional theories? This is getting used.
- 1:28Speaker 1: or adjusted to a new situation or a stimulus. And
- 1:36Speaker 1: it is a process of substituting the original stimulus by
- 1:42Speaker 1: a new one and connecting the response with it. And
- 1:48Speaker 1: there are two types of conditioning theories. Right? The first
- 1:55Speaker 1: one is classical conditioning. The second one obviously being apparent conditioning. Okay?
- 2:07Speaker 1: And today we'll be looking both of them. So, classical conditioning.
- 2:17Speaker 1: Ivan Pavlov designed an apparatus to measure the quantity of
- 2:24Speaker 1: saliva produced in response to food. At the beginning of
- 2:32Speaker 1: his experiment, Ivan Pavlov noticed that no saliva flowed when
- 2:39Speaker 1: he rang the bell. He then trained the dog by
- 2:44Speaker 1: sounding the bell and shortly afterwards presenting food and the
- 2:51Speaker 1: dog salivated. Ivan Pavlov train the dog by ringing the
- 3:01Speaker 1: bell the dog automatically salivated. Even Pavlov even didn't need
- 3:12Speaker 1: the food anymore to make the dog salivate. By using
- 3:19Speaker 1: the unconditional stimulus which is food anytime you put food
- 3:27Speaker 1: in front of a dog or even yourself, you start salivating.
- 3:31Speaker 1: So that's unconditional stimulus. You don't need conditions. You're right.
- 3:38Speaker 1: An unconditional response. Be salivating. So the food is placed there.
- 3:48Speaker 1: You salivate. That's natural. That's unconditional. But even Pavlov suggested
- 3:57Speaker 1: this theory and he proved it by trading the dog
- 4:03Speaker 1: by conditioning it by the bell and conditioned the salivating
- 4:14Speaker 1: of the dog so he didn't need to have the
- 4:19Speaker 1: unconditional stimulus to make the dog salivate anymore he just
- 4:26Speaker 1: had The bell and the bell made the dog salivate. Clearly,
- 4:33Speaker 1: you can see the dog simply was conditioned. Alright? There
- 4:41Speaker 1: are certain sub-principles which explain the different phenomenon of this experiment. First,
- 4:51Speaker 1: extinction and spontaneous recovery. Extinction means cessation of a response.
- 5:01Speaker 1: The strength of the conditional stimulus gradually decreases, presented alone
- 5:10Speaker 1: and not followed by unconditional stimulus. For a number of traits,
- 5:19Speaker 1: the dog stopped salivation gradually. But when the conditional stimulus.
- 5:30Speaker 1: The bell was paired again with unconditional stimulus. The food
- 5:39Speaker 1: for some traits the conditional response the salivation recovered. This
- 5:48Speaker 1: is known as spontaneous recovery. In spontaneous recovery the dog
- 5:55Speaker 1: required less number of trials than the first time because
- 6:02Speaker 1: the association between the conditional stimulus and unconditional stimulus still
- 6:09Speaker 1: existed in the brain of the animal. So spontaneous recovery
- 6:17Speaker 1: and extinction have been talked about by bearing those two
- 6:22Speaker 1: Unconditional stimulus and unconditional stimulus. The more you unpair them,
- 6:29Speaker 1: the extinction of the behavior begins. Alright? So, analyze it
- 6:36Speaker 1: to yourself. What are you conditioned to do? By which
- 6:41Speaker 1: condition stimulus are you under? Alright? The second one. Stimulus generalization.
- 6:52Speaker 1: A tendency to respond to a stimulus which is similar
- 6:58Speaker 1: to original one is called stimulus generalization. The greater the similarity,
- 7:08Speaker 1: the more the generalization. In this experiment, the dog started
- 7:14Speaker 1: salivating even for the sound of the bazaar. A febouza
- 7:21Speaker 1: which was similar to the bell. So, the dog associated
- 7:26Speaker 1: the sound of the buzzer with the bell and it salivated. So,
- 7:32Speaker 1: the stimulus generalization is just generalized. So, again, get back
- 7:39Speaker 1: to yourself. Which stimulus are you conditioned to and generalizing
- 7:45Speaker 1: and consuming even without you consciously knowing The third one,
- 7:53Speaker 1: stimulus discrimination. When there is much difference between the two stimulus,
- 8:02Speaker 1: the animal can discriminate between the two. For example, if
- 8:09Speaker 1: the dog is conditioned to salivate at the signal of
- 8:14Speaker 1: the red light, it will not salivate when the green
- 8:18Speaker 1: light is presented. So even when you present the green
- 8:24Speaker 1: light and you have food, the dog doesn't see the
- 8:31Speaker 1: food or smell it, but you have the food somewhere
- 8:34Speaker 1: you want to provide to it. It will not salivate
- 8:38Speaker 1: until you give it the food. Then you will start
- 8:44Speaker 1: extinction of the previous behavior of salivating well. It shows
- 8:50Speaker 1: the red light. You see how these things pair each other.
- 8:55Speaker 1: So the last one. Higher order of conditioning. If a
- 9:03Speaker 1: light is presented followed by bell and then by food
- 9:09Speaker 1: for a number of trials, the dog will start salivating
- 9:16Speaker 1: to light itself. Remember that. You have rung the bell
- 9:24Speaker 1: light up a red light and then given the dog
- 9:28Speaker 1: the food. The dog will start salivating whenever you just
- 9:36Speaker 1: light up the red light even without ringing the bell
- 9:40Speaker 1: and even without the food. So that shows I have
- 9:45Speaker 1: order conditioning and Again, we are talking about the dog
- 9:53Speaker 1: which is you. You are the dog in this experiment.
- 9:58Speaker 1: Analyze yourself. Which higher order conditioning are you under? Right?
- 10:07Speaker 1: All these principles are very useful in behavior therapy. Conditioning
- 10:14Speaker 1: is not confirmed only to the laboratory. For example, A
- 10:20Speaker 1: small child who does not know touches a burning candle.
- 10:26Speaker 1: It gives him a painful experience and withdraws his hands. Later,
- 10:33Speaker 1: this experience will make him withdraw from burning objects and
- 10:41Speaker 1: avoid them altogether. Alright. Conditioning is used as psychotherapeutic technique
- 10:53Speaker 1: very effective in the treatment of abnormal behaviors such as phobias, alcoholism,
- 11:02Speaker 1: and EDC. They are called behavior modification techniques. Watson and
- 11:11Speaker 1: others have conducted many experiments to prove the usefulness of
- 11:18Speaker 1: this method. Think about it. Alright? Analyze yourself and make
- 11:26Speaker 1: sure you are conditioned only to your goal. The next
- 11:33Speaker 1: conditioning or parent conditioning. This method of conditioning is developed
- 11:45Speaker 1: by an American psychologist, B.F. Skinner. This theory is also
- 11:53Speaker 1: known as instrumental conditioning because the animal uses certain operations
- 12:03Speaker 1: or actions as instruments to find solutions. Skinner books contained
- 12:14Speaker 1: a level and a food tray in a corner of
- 12:18Speaker 1: the box. It was so arranged that the animal was
- 12:26Speaker 1: free to move inside the box, but the pressing of
- 12:31Speaker 1: the lever would get the animal a pallet of food
- 12:37Speaker 1: in the tray as reinforcement. In day to day life also,
- 12:46Speaker 1: much learning takes place in animals as well as human
- 12:51Speaker 1: beings by this method. The reinforcement will be the motivating factor.
- 13:00Speaker 1: It will make the organism to repeat its action. It
- 13:06Speaker 1: is on the basis of this experiment Skinner made His
- 13:12Speaker 1: famous statement, rewarded behavior is repeated. Instrumental conditioning involves more
- 13:23Speaker 1: activity by the learner than classical conditioning. Reinforcement, which is
- 13:31Speaker 1: the most important aspect of this experiment, is divided into
- 13:37Speaker 1: two types. Positive reinforcement, is used to reward response or behaviors.
- 13:48Speaker 1: Negative reinforcement like punishment is used to stop and desire
- 13:55Speaker 1: responses or behaviors. Negative reinforcement like punishment is used to
- 14:05Speaker 1: stop and desire behaviors. Operant conditioning is useful in shaping
- 14:13Speaker 1: undesirable behavior and also in modification of behavior. This is
- 14:22Speaker 1: also useful in training of mentally retarded children to learn dressing,
- 14:31Speaker 1: eating and toilet training skills, treatment of phobias, drug and
- 14:38Speaker 1: alcohol addictions, and psychotherapy and to teach needed behavior in children. Further,
- 14:52Speaker 1: these experiments have proved that intermittent reinforcement yields better results
- 15:01Speaker 1: than continuous reinforcements. These two theories of conditioning have given
- 15:12Speaker 1: you a broader angle on how you can analyze your
- 15:19Speaker 1: behavior and how you can improve even yourself. Remember, Ivan
- 15:27Speaker 1: Pavlov used the dog as an example. You yourself put
- 15:33Speaker 1: yourself in that shoe. You are the dog now. You
- 15:38Speaker 1: are the conditioned now. Who is doing the conditioning? Who
- 15:44Speaker 1: is pulling the strings? Is it you? Is it somebody
- 15:50Speaker 1: in the darkness who you don't know? Is it a
- 15:53Speaker 1: certain religion which tells you that if you do this,
- 15:58Speaker 1: you will not do that, you will not get this?
- 16:02Speaker 1: Is it that friend who keeps deceiving you? Is it
- 16:07Speaker 1: your family? Or worst of it all, Are you the
- 16:13Speaker 1: one who you are doing it to yourself by responding
- 16:17Speaker 1: to conditioned stimulus, conditioned stimulus placed in cues by others?
- 16:32Speaker 1: Until you analyze yourself, you will not know it. The
- 16:39Speaker 1: rest is to be done. By you. Mine. Today. Is done.
- 16:49Speaker 1: Until next time. I'm your host. Satanist. Craig. Jamil. Hail. Psychology. Hail.
