Chapter 6 - CHAPTER 6: OUT OF DAYDREAMING

I quickly snapped out of that daydreaming because I have waited for this exam for some hours now. Focus!.....Focus Rosie! as my inner voice speaks up with confident within.We have eight supervisors in this hall, excluding external supervisors. Those ones do give a quiescent visit. The supervisors started giving the papers out by placing the questions papers faced down for we the students not to see through and this is to make us start at the same time.

'As I said earlier, Search your surroundings  for any pieces of paper, It should be disposed of immediately if any and there should be no form of cheating because, if you get caught in any form of Malpractice, you will be faced with the panels. lastly, there should be no turning of head sideways and no interaction with colleagues. If there's an issue with any of the questions, you can notify us your supervision by raising up your hands'

"A word is enough for the wise" so;

*START!*

As the supervisor pronounced with aura.

When I got a hold of my paper, The first thing  I did was to go through the questions and orders. The order is to "Answer any 4 questions'. I was happy and fulfilled because I have the answers to each question. It was as if I had seen the questions before. So I scan to pick out the best questions to answer.

"AN HOUR LATER"

It's an hour past now, when the ten o'clock gong sounded and I was already at the fourth question on "what are the differences between Operant conditioning theory and classical conditioning theory" as my hands were so moving fast on writing the differences between both theories of learning.

On writing on my paper, "The principles of classical conditioning as a theory of learning is originated from the experiment of a Russian psychologist Ivan Pavlov who conditioned dogs by establishing connection between the ringing of bell and the provision of available food while the Operant conditioning theory of learning was greatly expounded and popularized by an American psychologist B.F. Skinner who holds that learning involves three identifiable stages, these he enumerated as the stimulus for the learner task, which the learner is confined with, the behaviour that is elicited or the skill that is learnt and the reinforcement which follows that behaviour".

I went further to elaborate more on the differences as my memory was awakened.

On writing on my paper "In operant conditioning, the learner is also rewarded with incentives, while classical conditioning involves no such enticements. Also, classical conditioning is passive on the part of the learner, while operant conditioning requires the learner to actively participate and perform some type of action in order to be rewarded or punished. or operant conditioning to work, the subject must first display a behaviour that can then be either rewarded or punished. Classical conditioning, on the other hand, involves forming an association with some sort of already naturally occurring event's".
