Yes, I agree that my labeling of these objects as stimuli is not valid if we

I recall seeing footage of Pavlov at some type of Dog show(similar to
Westminister) in Russia.Maybe he was sampling for classical conditioning
picks.Hope Allen's dog got a prize.

Mike,
Remember how many people were afraid to go into the ocean after seeing
"Jaws"? I think the shower scene in "Psycho" had the potential to be a
pretty powerful stimulus.

Go ahead and berate. I have a thick skin.
My anecdote was meant merely as an illustration of what seems to me to be what
intro-psych textbooks call vicarious conditioning, so that I could ask my

(1) Not to berate Jeffry Ricker, but outside of anecdotes has anyone

By vicarious learning I assume you are referring to observation learning
occurring by the observing another person, like Mom, becoming fearful of
a bees, snakes, etc. Children use their parents as references and that's
a powerful role--for better or worse. I recall my son coming in from a

I never viewed vicarious as necessarily conceptually distinct from operant or
classical. Thus, if the mom's facial expression functions as UCS then I called
it classical vicarious conditioning. Of course, in a natural setting operant is
also involved as the child's resulting expression of fear t
The best answer is probably yes.
As usual, both operant and classical conditioning functions are involved.
I'm not sure how a phobia differs from an avoidance response maintained by a
conditioned or unconditioned stimulus.
The main question would be the function of the mother's fear response to t

I use that example all the time to describe how common phobias sometimes
arise. I never thought to use it as an example of conditioning, but I
think I will now. I'm wondering if we could use it as an example of how
more than one type of conditioning may take place in the same situation.

Hi all,
When I was a child, I remember my mother telling me about a friend of hers who
developed a "shower phobia" after watching Hitchcock's Psycho. (By today's
standards, the scene is quite tame, but it was terrifying to many people at the
time the movie was released.) It seems obvious that t
