Write down a 700 to 1,050 word paper explaining a single, informal learning experience which someone could have.
You might explain, for illustration, how someone could become afraid of heights, why a particular food or smell moves him/her emotionally, or why he/she dislikes elevators. The experience should be concrete and can be a singular experience or an experience which takes place over a longer period.
Explain the experience by applying learning theories to the steps comprised in the learning experience. You are going to look at the experience from various learning perspectives-classical conditioning, operant conditioning and observational learning. Be sure to comprise the given in your paper:
Explain how what was learned could have occurred via classical conditioning. Recognize the unconditioned stimulus, the unconditioned response, the conditioned stimulus and the conditioned response.
Describe how what was learned could have occurred via operant conditioning. Explain the behavior, consequence and reinforcement. Point out the schedule of reinforcement, if applicable.
Address how the learned experience could have occurred via observational learning.
Format your paper consistent with the APA guidelines and comprise citations or references as appropriate.
