Yesterday in intro psych class, we were discussing classical conditioning (e.g. Pavlov's dogs).
Problem: I've associated music by a certain band with a certain person. Certain person has done something to me which I didn't like. Now I'm highly apprehensive to listening to this band, even though I just added another of their albums to my collection... so now I don't want to listen to this new CD I bought, and this is kinda problematic. Argh. I mean, I *want* to, because I'm sure I still admire this band, but because of this negative association, I don't want to listen to them ... |
