Since our chapter discusses learning, I thought it would be fitting to share one of my learning experiences.
So recently I went ice skating for the first time with my friend. I was excited but also nervous to go ice skating because I am extremely uncoordinated to say the least. My friend who plays hockey was aware of this and attempted to teach me how to skate. He tried his best to teach me but he did not get very far.
When I stepped onto the ice (unconditioned stimulus) in skates for the first time I became really nervous (unconditioned response). Then when I fell (conditioned stimulus) on the ice (unconditioned stimulus) I became extremely nervous (unconditioned response) of falling again. This led me to be nervous (conditioned response) of falling (conditioned stimulus) again.
This is just a really basic example of how my ice skating experience ties into the chapter. Needless to say I only fell twice within a two hour span. Granted I wasn't going very fast.

Congrats on only falling twice! When I went last winter I probably fell 15 times! Good example of how it relates. I think all new things to be learned, from birth to death, relate to this chapter.
