Conditioning - ^Special^ ^Needs^
Classical & Operant Conditioning
Classical conditioning is when multiple factors trigger a response in a living thing and become associated.
Operant conditioning is when outside factors are figured in the minds of living things in order that they make personal applications with it concerning something that matters in their life.
The Difference
The difference is that classical conditioning is more naturally *hypnotic and operant conditioning is more "handmade." (*I realize in my 1st module review, I was told that conditioning of some sort, operant or dog salivating, was not hypnotic, but I was wondering again if it could be said it was in a natural way, instead. I'm not sure if the class knows.)
My Punishment/Reinforcement Preference
To me, positive punishment seems the most appropriate. You enter a person's life yourself sincerely and judge them honestly as a person, rather than
positive reinforcement messing around giving them distracting presents out of nowhere,
negative reinforcement taking away healthy/necessary challenges to build strength over for later,
or negative punishment taking away something special that they shouldn't have to give up for this.
My Experience
When I moved from the Fort Lauderdale (SE FL) area to Jacksonville (NE FL,) I was 5 years old. I used to just stand there unable to think or concentrate, when we were given directions to put papers in certain shelves, I remember. In preschool, I was very much at home and everything made sense. I realized that each of these cities in East Coast Florida were very different.
