 lots of applications here, aversion therapy. What's that classical aversion therapy thing that they do with cigarettes, right? It's been in every TV show and all sorts of books and magazines and all that stuff. And what do they do? They make you smoke a bunch of cigarettes all at once and get you sicker than a dog, right? That's aversion therapy. That's classical conditioning. The idea is that the cigarette, if it makes you sick, then the cigarette, you're gonna wanna avoid the cigarettes in the future, right? It's called condition suppression and it works really well for a while. In other words, it's not necessarily permanent. But it does have some, it is useful at least at first. Think about alcohol, right? There's an entire treatment field around aversion therapy and alcohol. In fact, there's even research onto drugs that allow this to happen. And it's called anantibuse, right? You take the anantibuse and then if you have any alcohol while you've got anantibuse in your system, you're gonna get sick. It's just a given because of what anantibuse does and how it blocks the breakdown of the alcohol and your body and blah, blah, blah, all that stuff. So the idea is that we're making alcohol a bad thing. There's all sorts of scenarios about how aversion therapy and using anantibuse to treat alcoholism is problematic. But one of those things is it's very stimulus specific. So if I'm a beer drinker, right, I may be able to use some aversion therapy and give me stop drinking beer, but that's not gonna stop me from going over and getting me a bottle of vodka, right? So in fact, I probably wouldn't get sick in the presence of the vodka. Chemotherapy is a classic situation here. We've already kind of hinted at this in the past, but the idea is that again, it's a type of aversion, right? So chemotherapy is a poison. It's gonna make you sick. So it's a US. So anything you pair with that in the future is probably gonna make you sick. So in other words, avoid your favorite foods when you're getting chemo therapy because those favorite foods will be paired with sickness. Well, guess what? In the future, those might not be your favorite foods. So that's one of the things that happens with chemo. So in fact, most doctors will give you that warning unless they, before you come in for the chemo, don't eat that, it's like, oh yeah, I got a chemo treatment tonight. So I'm gonna have a bunch of pasta this afternoon and I just love pasta. It's gonna make me feel better and yeah, it might. And up until the point you have the chemo and then the next time you cook that pasta, then you're like, oh, how are that? Just, oh, it's gonna make you sick, right? So that's something that you wanna worry about. But it's something to avoid, at least if you know somebody getting chemo and they haven't been told that. It might be a good thing to remind them of. Yes, that's what it says. Your book covers a great example, but the idea is how do you become regular without the use of a medication all the time, right? And maybe you've got some medical issues or maybe you're just having troubles with it and maybe your diet doesn't let you be regular. Well, you can use classical conditioning to produce a sort of regular response when it comes to defecating, right? And the book goes, like I said, the book goes through, it seems a little humorous, but it's true, you know, you take a laxative and then you pair it with something else. I think the example in your book is a mild shock, right? So then you eventually that mild shock will yield the condition response of defecating. So you can get yourself on a schedule and then you can fade out that US of the laxative, right? And it works. It's been effective. I know there's one example in the book, but there's many examples out there if you dig into the literature. Nocturnal and uresus, right? So for those of you that don't know, it's bedwetting, right? So what do bedwetting pads do? They make a noise. They do all sorts of stuff, okay? There's also, they protect the bed all the while, but one of the things that they do are they make a noise. The idea is you learn to detect the stimulus. So if you pee, then the sound goes off. The sound is a conditioned stimulus and you learn to detect that. Or you hear that and wakes you up and that type of thing, right? So that condition, so what you learn to detect, and so I'm sorry, let me try this example, but again, I got a little confused with my slide there for a second. So you get the bedwetting pad. If you urinate, it's gonna make a sound. It's gonna make little buzz or something like that. You can detect that. That buzz will wake you up. So that buzz is an unconditional stimulus for getting up. But what you're trying to do is pair that buzz with that feeling that you have inside of you of having to go to the bathroom. So ultimately what you want is that feeling to wake you up. So if we've got the bedwetting pad on, then it's gonna, but you're gonna get that feeling before then. Now you're not even awake and this stuff is working. And it works like a charm by the way. Then the idea is that you'll detect that feeling inside of you that it's time to go to the bathroom. So you get up and you go to the bathroom and you then basically are reinforced. So reinforcement is then going to sort of take over because you're avoiding the wetness, you're avoiding all that stuff. But the idea is that this is sort of a combination of classical conditioning and operant which kind of hints at what the next chapter is about. But again, that classical conditioning here is learning to detect that feeling inside your body, that CS, and the US is the noise that actually happens. This isn't a punisher. A lot of people think these are punishers. It's not. It's about developing a new response and about you being able to tell when that response happens. And a lot of kids believe or not don't know that feeling and that's that feeling of I have to pee. They may be able to sense it a little bit but it's not salient to them. It's not obvious or too excited. They're too doing their other stuff or they're too deep asleep and they just pee. And that's, it sounds kind of odd as I'm sitting here talking about it, but that's very normal. And that's one of the difficulties that some children have with learning to go to the bathroom. And a lot of people overthink it. They're like, oh my kid just doesn't want to pee in the toilet. And it's like, no, it probably, one of the first thoughts you should have if you're having trouble with body training is can they tell what the feeling of having to pee is like? And until you explicitly teach that you can't be sure that there's something else going on. So that's one of those first, it's a low hanging fruit, so to speak. It's okay, that was kind of bad, but it's an easy target. That's something that you should go for first if you're having trouble with kids that are learning how to pee or even if they're bedwetting at night. So all right, that's about it. There's a bunch more that we could go on and on and on about this.
