Spontaneous Recovery
Reflections of a Smoker Definition: Spontaneous Recovery is the tendency of a learned behavior to recover from the extinction after a rest period. (Schacter, Gilbert, Wegner 2009). In order to better understand this definition I had to do more reading on the basic principles of learning and behaviorism.

(Schacter, Gilbert, Wegner 2009) In order for one to have a spontaneous recovery

    Confessions of a Quit Addict

    Were all taught at a young age that when you try and try your hardest, anything you desire might be achieved. This statement for the most part is true but in one quick decision all of your hard work can be easily thrown away. Pushed down, deep into the recesses of your conscience in the same area where regret, guilt, and shame reside; this can all happen in one swift (usually ill-advised) choice, the choice to give up—or quit. In Barbara Graham’s essay “Confessions of a Quit Addict” she describes her adventures in quitting; where it took her, and how it shaped her to be the person she came to be. Through personal experience I too know what it is like to be a quitter and not live up to expectations, and also how to learn from mistakes.…

    Addiction To Nicotine

    It is a commonly known fact that the use of tobacco products will increase the destruction of any given person's health. How is it possible that most food products sold to the United States public must pass the FDA checkpoints? Yet our government is allowing manufactures to distribute a cancerous product at an financially affordable cost. There are many ads, commercials, and billboards posted around populated areas or on television to drive home what smoking really costs; yet a majority of our population today is still consuming these products. According to Centers of Disease Control and Prevention, from…

    Smoking Cessation Research Paper

    Picking my question from the list of approve topics was the easy part. Smoking cessation is a constant problem that affects many of our patients. We are always educating our patients on smoking cessation and the risk factors. I had a hard time finding the intervention and control group in my study. Initially, I wanted to assess nicotine patches vs nicotine gum. After researching, I did not find many relevant articles. After completing an admission at work, I realized almost all of our patients that are addicted to nicotine refuse counseling. I finally found my intervention and control of my study with relevant research. Thank you all for the feedback, I really appreciate the suggestions. I am excited to learn more about evidenced based practice…

    The Adaptive Challenge To Quit Smoking

    The adaptive challenge I am faced with is my brother smoke cigarettes, and I need to convince him to quit. The most probable outcome is that he will be resistant to change his status quo. The gap between my current reality and aspiration is, that my brother free of smoking. I know that adaptive change is painful and making a smoker to quit smoking is a challenge as it revolves around confronting losses. Smoking is a risk that does not have a defined solution. I think the nicotine in a cigarette can make it harder to quit smoking.…

    Conditioning and Learning

    Classical conditioning is the simple learning process where a neutral stimulus is able to evoke a response because it has been paired with another stimulus that originally elicits that response. This can also refer to a predictable sequence of events in which one responds to a first event in anticipation of the next. In classical conditioning, the subject learns to make a reflex response to a stimulus that is different from the original, natural stimulus that would normally produce that response. For classical conditioning to occur, several elements must be present: an unconditioned stimulus (UCS) is the naturally occurring stimulus that leads to an involuntary response, an unconditioned response (UCR) is an involuntary response to a naturally occurring or unconditioned stimulus, a neural stimulus (NS) is stimulus that has no effect on the desired response, a conditioned stimulus (CS) is a stimulus that becomes able to produce a learned reflex response by being paired with the original unconditioned stimulus, and a conditioned response (CR) is a learned reflex response to a conditioned stimulus. Ivan Pavlov contributed to this theory by performing an experiment that involved ringing a bell (NS) and giving food (UCS) to dogs so they begin to salivate (UCR). Later, when he rang the bell (CS) again, the dogs automatically salivation (CR) without any food even being given.…
