Chapter 7

I found the Bobo doll experiment extremely interesting.  I couldn't believe that the kids actually imitated the adult's actions and were more likely to lash out in an aggressive way when angry.  However, I think that the onion breath conditioned stimulus was the most interesting.  It was gross, but interesting.  I can't even imagine kissing a guy with onion breath, let alone be aroused by the smell of onion breath.  It's really disgusting.  

We are classically conditioned to things like our alarm clocks and school bells.  Also, when I was younger, I had a group of birds, specifically Barn Swallows, swoop down at me when I was mowing lawn, causing me to get into a little fender-bender with the lawn-mower that I was on.  Even it was just a bump, I was really scared to see my dad's reactions.  Even to this day, I have a tremendous, irrational fear of birds.   I think that this is also a result of classical conditioning.
