Document Summary
In 1965, a scientist named martin seligman started shocking dogs. He was trying to expand on the research of pavlov the guy who could make dogs salivate when they heard a bell ring. Seligman wanted to head in the other direction, and when he rang his bell instead of providing food he zapped them with electricity. To keep them still, he restrained them in a harness during the experiment. If they could not escape the shock, the dogs would take the shock and not try to escape because they have learned the other side also has a shock. Adaptive vs maladaptive achievement patterns associated with learned helplessness: cognitive, adaptive. Maintenance of effective strategies or development of new strategies under adverse situations: maladaptive. Deterioration of effective strategies or a failure to develop new strategies under difficult situations: motivational, adaptive. Challenge seeking and high persistence in the face of failure: maladaptive.
