How can classical conditioning principles be applied to getting a better night's sleep?
What will be an ideal response?
A good answer would include the following key points:
- Classical conditioning principles can be used to help create a mind-set in which sleep can occur.
- By associating the bed with sleep, the presence of a stimulus (the bed) contributes to the desired response (sleep).
- Therefore, studying, eating, conversing, sitting, or engaging in other activities while on the bed would be detrimental; the sole and strongest association should be between the presence of the bed and the feeling of sleepiness.
