By operant condition i learned this subject. In Early days i'm very poor at psychology subject. One day a psychologist came to our college and offered us $40,000 salary after graduation.I attracted to that salary and studied psychology subject effectively.

2.I fear of gas cylinder:

When i'm in 7th class, my neighbours house blasted due to leakage of gas cylinder. I saw that blast from 100 feet distance. Then i shivered with fear. Then gas cylinder(physical stimulus) became conditioned response to me .Now also i fear of gas cylinder.

In that way i learned this charecteristic in classical conditioning manner.

3.I can play basket ball very well:

When i'm in college days, Basket ball players allowed to leave classes with attendence. To leave classroom i goes to basket ball court. There i learned basket ball.
