How do you use classical conditioning to teach a child not to touch a hot stove?

Here is an example on how classical conditioning can teach a child not to touch a hot stove. Heat is a US; it is a naturally occurring circumstance to which the human body responds too. The body's reaction to touching something hot is the UR. When any human touches something hot, US, they quickly retort their hand away from the heat, UR. When a child touches a hot stove, which in this purpose should be considered to be a CS, they learn that touching this particular object, this CS, is touching something hot and painful which leads them to moving their hand away which in this case is a CR since the stove in particular is hot. The stove is a CS because it can be replaced, or generalized, for anything else that may be hot; which will have the same response. This response is an acquisitionbecause the UR to move away from something hot is incorporated into the CR of moving away from the hot stove. Extinction may occur if the curious child tried to touch the stove again, but it is not hot. The fear of pain is extinguished since the CS is not causing pain. However, the curious child whop touches the stove again, and this time it is hot again, will have a spontaneous recovery, and again have fear of touching the hot stove. Eventually, the child will be able to discriminate on when they can touch the stove, and when they cannot.-KR


What did Sigmund Freud believe happens to our memories of past experiences especially painful ones?

Sigmund Freud believed that our memories of past experiences, especially painful ones, can be repressed or buried in the unconscious mind. He suggested that these memories can continue to influence behavior and emotions without our awareness, and that psychoanalysis could help bring these memories to the surface for healing.


One of the most important Freudian concepts which consists of pushing unacceptable life events and painful feelings into the unconscious is?

Why do people do the eraser challenge?

Because they might be depressed about something or they just think it is cool. I think it is unessery and it is very dangerous to your skin, of course. If some one is doing it you might want to ask. If it is a bad reason get them help. They just might be because they are getting bullied.
