Part 1 1. Classical conditioning
I have a special ringtone set for my mom and dad. So whenever they call I know that they are calling me because the ringtone is different from everyone else. I set a special ringtone for my parents so that I would always answer their phone calls. US is the phone call, UR is mom, NS is the special ringtone, CS is the special ringtone, and CR mom. 2. Operant conditioning
My cousin promised her daughter that if she gets all A’s in her report card they would buy her a puppy. So she got all A’s in her report card to get a puppy as a reward. 3. Observational learning
Observational learning is learning by observing others. I use this learning when my mom cooks a meal. I observe what she does and I put that into a use of my own. I learned how to do simple things by observing. I learned how to cut fruits and making a meal by observing the way she cuts the fruits or how she makes spaghettis.
Part 2 1. Not closing the garage door a. The situation: One day I was in a hurry of going to class to turn in my project and forgot to look if I closed my garage. I pressed the remote to close the garage but I didn’t check if I closed the garage. b. Any factors that were relevant to forgetting: My mind was getting the project on time.
