I am also inclined to talk about this in terms of autoshaping, which is a
good example of an experimental paradigm in which we can identify elements
of both classical and instrumental conditioning.

My vote is also for classical conditioning. What if we think of this

An article that I (as a non-expert in the area) found very informative
on this issue was Phelps et al. (1997). They describe that there
are two different chorionic arrangements that occur with MZ twins.
The large majority cases are monochorionic, meaning they share a placenta,
blood flow, etc.
Another personality text that does not focus on theories, but,
instead, on current personality research is Cloninger's
"Personality: Description, dynamics, and development". I

For a different take on a personality text, take a look at "Personality:

Classical conditioning seems to be getting the votes today. I know classical
conditioning has been reinterpreted in recent years, but it was my impression
that, as originally conceived, classical conditioning always began with a true
reflex or physiological response (something built into the nervo

Some students are likely to make a statement like this:
"I got an A" or "The prof gave me a C".
The self- serving bias applies here because high achievement is attributed
to one's effort whereas low achievement is attributed to the prof.

I would see the example as classical conditioning. The whistle
would be the neutral stimulus, the birdseed would be the the unconditioned
stimulus and the flocking to the stadium would be the unconditioned
response. After repeated pairings between the neutral stimulus and

It is my understanding that MZ twins share a significantly more similar

A student remarked that there is a high rate of OCD among doctors and
this can be traced to the frequent and meticulous handwashing involved

Any documented evidence on this?
