b) Since many of these studies were conducted in laboratories, do you think that they have implications in the "real world?" What have you actually observed in the "real world?"

c) Please give some specific examples of your observations (for example, acquaintances, friends, and/or your own behavior).

d) Are your observations consistent with the researchers' findings?

e) Lastly, after reflecting on the readings, video, and your own perspective on media violence, what would be your advice to parents regarding their children's exposure to these aggressive-themed types of media (e.g., TV, movies, video games, music, Internet)?

2.Does classical conditioning exist only in Pavlov's lab experiment with dogs? No it does not! You can easily observe and/or experience classical conditioning in your everyday life.

a) Briefly define the different components of classical conditioning (i.e., US, UR, CS, CR).

b) In addition, think of a specific situation in which you have experienced classical conditioning.Remember to specifically apply each component to your situation.Please also make sure that you identify the US, UR, CS, and CR in your example.If you cannot think of a personal experience, then you can apply an observation of another person or animal (e.g., pet). Please do not use the same examples given in the textbook.........come up with your own example!

c) Lastly what do you think about classical conditioning and its consequences?
