One aspect that we will look at is Classical conditioning - the link between the stimulas and response bond.
1. What is the theory of Ivan Pavlov (1849-1936)?
2. What is the implication of the dogs learning more quickly second time around?
3. Give sporting examples where a performer may be conditioned to respond to a stimulas completely unrelated to a response.
Another form of conditioning is that of Operant Conditioning. This work was undertaken by Skinner (1938) who developed the work of Pavlov.
1. Research Skinner's theory to Operant conditioning.
2. Why, if Skinners conclusions are correct, don't teachers/coaches use more punishment during training sessions?
