Pavlov had such a great impact on the study of classical conditioning that it is often referred to as Pavlovian conditioning. ![]() Although Edwin Twitmyer published findings pertaining to classical conditioning one year earlier, the best-known and most thorough work on classical conditioning is accredited to Ivan Pavlov, a Russian physiologist born in the mid-1800s. Classical conditioning is the process in which an automatic, conditioned response is paired with specific stimuli. Classical conditioning is one of those unconscious learning methods and is the most straightforward way in which humans can learn. Learning can occur through both unconscious and conscious pathways. Learning is the process by which new knowledge, behaviors, attitudes, and ideas are acquired. ![]() ![]() ![]() In the 90s, the enigmatic author was my perfect transition into Stephen King, to which I became a full-blown adult horror fan. Christopher Pike didn’t just write YA fiction… However, when firing on all cylinders, Pike truly impresses with his imaginative ability to meld disparate sci-fi and horror themes into thrilling – and oftentimes, unexpected – narrative wholes. ![]() In addition, he sometimes relies on unintended stereotypes that seem dated by today’s standards. Gimme A Kiss, for instance, hasn’t held up well over the years. Of course, like most prolific authors, Pike did have his fair share of duds. Put simply, he didn’t dumb things down for his young audience, which is something I greatly respect. He pushed genre ‘safety’ boundaries, even venturing as far as to write about teen murderers ( The Lost Mind, The Wicked Heart), shower voyeurism ( Die Softly), and terminal illness ( The Midnight Club). Christopher Pike often straddled the line between traditional YA and darker adult themes. ![]() ![]() As war surges in the factions all around her, Tris attempts to save those she loves-and herself-while grappling with haunting questions of grief and forgiveness, identity and loyalty, politics and love.Īllegiant: The explosive conclusion to Veronica Roth's #1 New York Times bestselling Divergent trilogy reveals the secrets of the dystopian world that has captivated millions of readers.įour: A Divergent Collection: A companion volume to the worldwide bestselling Divergent series, told from the perspective of Tobias. ![]() Veronica Roth's second #1 New York Times bestseller continues the dystopian thrill ride.

Written during the reign of the famously passionate Charles II, these lines can easily be seen as advice to the King to moderate his passions for his own good and for the good of the nation. John Milton, Paradise Regained, Book II, lines 463-472 Or lawless passions in him which he serves. Which every wise and vertuous man attains:Ĭities of men, or head-strong Multitudes, Passions, Desires, and Fears, is more a King Yet he who reigns within himself, and rules That for the Publick all this weight he bears.

The epic poems of John Milton (1608-1674)– Paradise Lost, Paradise Regained, and Samson Agonistes–unite erudite recountings of their biblical subjects with explorations of the complex political landscape of 17th century England. ![]() Found in The Poetical Works of John Milton ![]() ![]() Some psychologists would probably mention that it is how our brains work and it does seem quite realistic, but Whispering Glades blows a concept of saying goodbye to a loved one out of proportion. It is a rather difficult task to put up with an idea that this is the end. What is Whispering Glades? It is nothing more than a sheer inability to accept an idea of death. They can’t put up with the idea of living in a shadow of more fortunate and more talented ones and can’t stand an idea of not being the best. ![]() ![]() What is more, Francis Kinsley hangs himself when he finds out that he has been fired. Even a little and absolutely harmless gossip about his fellow countrymen makes him believe that his image of a perfect gentleman is at stake. He is so taken up with this idea that he dares to intrude into the privet lives of other Englishmen in the United States. For instance, let’s have a look at Ambrose Abercrombie who seems to believe that he is responsible for the reputation and glory of the United Kingdom. One of the main reasons of this unfortunate tendency is – of course – vanity.
