Chapter 7

I thought this chapter was very interesting. I was able to learn a lot about learning. It was interesting to learn about the many different types of reinforcements. I didn't know that there was a schedule to follow. I also found it interesting to learn about all the types of conditioning. I never thought of myself as conditioned, but I guess I am. Like when they bell rings, I automatically get up, its just something that I have learned over time. Operant conditioning was also very interesting. When I read about that one I instantly thought about dogs and the electrical dog collars. If they leave the yards, they will hear a sound and if they aren't back to the yard within so many seconds then they will get shocked. After a while they learn that they are no longer allowed to leave the yard otherwise they will be punished.
I used conditoning when the bell rings, when the timer on the stove goes off, when my alarm in the morning goes off. I never realized how conditioned I was to some things.
