When i (Mh) was 3, a robin, protecting its nest, pecked me on the head. to this day, i have a fear of birds. how would Pavlov explain this? What were the ucs and the ucr? What are the cs and the cr today? how can you explain the fact that i have no fear of penguins or hummingbirds?

Jaws is a classic movie depicting a huge shark killing swimmers in an atlantic seaside town. When the movie fi rst came out, many people who saw it became afraid to go swimming, even though they had never been attacked by even a small fi sh when swimming previously. how would classical conditioning principles explain this?

can you identify one fear which you feel affects you signifi cantly? can you recall a traumatic event that produced the fear (for example, a fear of dogs resulting from having been bitten as a child)? if not, do you think this invalidates the idea that phobias are based on conditioning?
