3. Dog training and classical conditioning.
So many dog trainers use classical conditioning
to train their dogs and if you have any
knowledge of classical conditioning you are
already halfway to getting your dog trained now
all you need is time and patience.
4. • Ivan Pavlov 1839-1936
• A Physiologist who stumbled across the idea of classical conditioning.
• Pavlov was looking at salivation in dogs in responding to being fed, when
he noticed that his dogs would begin to salivate whenever he entered
the room, even when he did not food.
• After noticing this Pavlov began to realize that dogs will respond the
same way with any given object that it associates with food. (In my dog’s
case when he hears any bag that sounds like his treat bag crumble.)
• Pavlov then began experimenting more and determined that dogs can
be classically conditioned.
5. learning to associate an unconditioned stimulus that already brings about a particular
response (i.e. a reflex) with a new (conditioned) stimulus, so that the new stimulus
brings about the same response.
6. • Zac George is a man who makes tutorials on Youtube mostly on Dog training.
• Zac George uses classical conditioning to train the dogs.
7. The dog does not obey.
He will not wait and sit
before given the
“stimulus” aka his toy.
• STIMULUS - Any object or
feature of the environment
that affects behavior. In
Pavlov’s experiments food
was a stimulus. Our case The
Toy.
12. • Watson 1878-1958, also working off of Pavlovs
ideas of classical conditioning was able to
condition fear to a little boy using the same
concepts.
• He gave him a stimulus, something that made
the boy Albert happy
• Then doing it a few times after making a loud
noise to scare the boy.
• After many times doing this eventually Albert
was scared when seeing the object on it’s own.
