I loved this chapter!!
A) It was interesting.
B) It was SHORT!! I was able to keep reading without daydreaming or getting bored with the information!!
I found quite a few aspects of this chapter interesting. One was onion breath being related to sexual arousal. This study and the man's account of onion breath "turning him on" completely baffled me! I wanted to laugh hysterically, but it was really interesting! It relates to so many things in life like, when you're at the store and you smell gingerbread, you automatically think of (are conditioned to associate) Grandma's Christmas cookies. You spontaneously recover that tidbit of forgotton or seemingly extinct information when you sniff that first whiff of ginger.
An example of something I've been conditioned to is red Ford Rangers (a type of pickup truck). I associate these trucks with my father, who drives one. There have been several unfortunate incidents that have occured in/with this truck of his, so whenever I see one while driving, I immediately tense up and expect to see him in the driver's seat (Classical conditioning/ unconditioned response to the truck). This stimulus gets me every time and is extremely annoying, but the same response takes place every time.
This chapter helped me realize why I react the way I do to many things and was extremely informational in how I would like to one day raise my children. I took lots of notes!! :)
