how you would use Pavlov conditioning to decrease negative behavior? in a child
Pavlov conditioning is also known as classical conditioning. Classical conditioning is a form of learning wherein a subject learns through association between two stimulus. The most effective way to decrease negative behaviour in a child is through aversion. Aversion technique refers to forming an aversion to a certain stimulus when paired with a negative stimulus. For instance, a child demands for candies for dinner. You cannot give your child candies as a meal replacement. So, one day you give your child candies for dinner, however, right after that you also give him a very mild drug which upsets his stomach. The child would then never ask for candies for dinner as he would form an aversion for candies as he associates candies with his stomach being upset.
