I enjoyed studying cognitive behavioral psychology

In this second semestrer I enjoyed studying cognitive behavioral psychology, this subject is about experimental psychology with animals and animals not humans. Study Behavioral psychology is very difficult because in the field exist more theorical lines. The line of the pavlovian conditioning and operant conditioning. The first is about of learning acquired by experience discovered by Ivan Pavlov in 1903 with won The Nobel prize in 1904 , and the second about it on reinforcers that reward behavior, discovered by Frederic Skinner .

In the semester I discovered I liked the material because this theorical lines have very scientific evidence in the clinical psychology, for example in drug therapies, in phobias with animals and The dirt, in alcoholism, and in personality disorders. But the Behavioral pshychology raises more controversy with the practice to experiment with animals specifically in experiments with rats and pigeons.

In this semester teachers made us investigate about the behavioral contrast, is very boring.

The behavioral cognitive is very demanding, but I think that with a good working group everything can go well.
