About FISH Psychology

Hello!

Welcome to FISH Psychology 🐟~!


This blog is dedicated to share information from different fields of psychology in a FUN way! We will also be sharing some self-help tips and quotes for you to practice and maintain a healthy mental health :D

Why are we called FISH Psychology?

1. Both the owner of this account are Psychology fresh graduates, but sadly are also two lifeless ‘ham yu’ aka salted fish (a metaphor for a corpse in Cantonese, now means people who have no intention of doing anything)

2. Consequently, we decided to name this account as FISH Psychology even though initially we prepared several names for the acc (eg. Psyvibe, Psychout)

3. Well we have to give a meaning behind the FISH in FISH psychology so we actually made FISH as an abbreviation of Fun Informative Self Help (FISH)

(Actually, the real reason is bc we wanted to not ‘high key’ tell people we are salted fish so)

4. The logo (our profile pic) actually has a meaning:

Owner H said that Ham yu is like dead fish (in a sense) then blue sea make it alive (is like implying how psychology help people with mental health issue)

Hence blue background and two fish! (well we have two owners here so)

Last but not least, we will be sharing information in both Chinese and English, so please stay tuned!✨

Classical Conditioning

What is Classical Conditioning?  Classical conditioning is a form of associative learning between an automatic stimulus and a specific stimulus. * Classical conditioning would be referred to as CC in the remaining text. * How does Classical Conditioning work? Before we start, there are a few terms to know about: Unconditioned Stimulus (UCS) - Any stimulus that will always and naturally elicit a response. Unconditioned Response (UCR) - Any response that always and naturally occurs upon the presentation of the UCS. Neutral Stimulus (NS) - Any stimulus that does not naturally elicit a response associated with the UCR. Conditioned Stimulus (CS) - Any stimulus that will, after association with a UCS, cause a conditioned response (CR) when present to a subject by itself. Conditioned Response (CR) - Any response that occurs upon the presentation of CS. So how do CC works? It involves presenting a neutral stimulus before an unconditioned stimulus (that produces an automatic, unconditioned ...
