Write a 3 page essay on Psygology: Learning Experience.

One afternoon, my parents left us at the backyard since they had to buy some groceries at the nearby store. While playing at the backyard, the ball my brother and I are playing with landed in our neighbor’s territory. Since my brother was very eager to climb the fence so he could reach for the ball,

I volunteered to retrieve the ball. Unfortunately, our neighbor’s dog ferociously bit me on my right leg as soon as I landed in their territory.

Through operant conditioning, the voluntary responses of the student when he/she sees a dog is very much controlled by the learning experience he/she had in the past due to the negative consequences of having felt the emotional
