RE: This Trap Called Conditioning...
We are conditioned from birth through operant and classical conditioning and this continues throughout life. Studies have looked at the power of conditioning but even as adults some still expect rewards for certain types of behaviour. I am fascinated by the power of conditioning and its become part of natural human behaviour. X
Yes indeed! We get rewarded for walking in line and punished when we try something else and since we are very social beings dependent on others, we highly value validation from others...
I wonder what the world would be like if we werent all pre programmed to be open to conditioning.....
Or if we got raised questioning everything! :)
