HEY! Welcome to Psych I.R.L.
okay so definition
What is classical conditioning?
Makes sense
So, there was this Russian Scientist
named Ivan Pavlov
and he discovered this by accident
He kept dogs in a lab
So he could study their digestive processes
Now, dogs naturally salivate to food
He surgically implanted these devices
in the dogs mouths
so that he could measure their saliva
but experiment after experiment
Pavlov noticed that
before the food was even presented
the dogs began to salivate
They salivated to the sound of
the researcher's footsteps
or even just to the bowl itself
And then Pavlov was like...
WAIT!
The dogs are associating
the researcher's footsteps or the bowl with food
The footsteps and the bowl have been classically conditioned
to evoke the drooling response
After Pavlov found this out
He thought to himself
You know what?
I'm going to classically condition
a dog to salivate to a bell
that's really useful for some reason
Dogs naturally salivate to food
Food is an unconditioned stimulus
The dog drooling is the unconditioned response
The sound of the bell is a neutral stimulus
because dogs don't naturally salivate to that
Pavlov presented the sound of the bell
and the food together
over and over and over and over again
After a number of experiments
He just rang the bell
And what do you know?
the dogs salivated to the sound of the bell alone
Classical Conditioning I.R.L.
so we went into an ice cream store one day
My sister bought this
who is sitting right there in her weird red Pajamas
Okay I don't think I should...
(fart noise from sister)
EWWWWW!
I'm putting that fart in the video
My sister who is sitting right there
umm bought this ice cream called
It was called Brownie Fudge Sunday?
So, okay anyways
it was like some chocolate ice cream called brownie fudge sunday
Because there's this rule in this house
that whatever's in the fridge is up for grabs
she tried to eat this whole gallon
of chocolate ice cream to herself
so that she wouldn't have to share
And what ended up happening was
She barfed
Sister: I felt kinda dirty
Donna: Okay...
Sister: sticky...very very sticky
Okay stooooop
and now to this day
She doesn't like chocolate
so now, she associates chocolate with being sick
that's called taste aversion
So, if you like this video give it a thumbs up

BYE!
