Study Notes
Overcoming Fear of Flying with DePlour Training Centre
- 20% of air passengers experience fear when flying, with 3% experiencing panic, causing them to avoid air travel completely
- Fear stems from various sources including media reports, unusual sounds, turbulence, and a loss of control
- Traditional methods to overcome fear include drugs, hypnosis, and self-help recordings, with limited success
- Captain Marc-Antoine Plourde's DePlour Training Centre in Montreal offers a two-day course to reduce fear of flying
- The course includes seminars on pilot training, aircraft design, and maintenance, as well as a flight simulator experience
- Plourde demonstrates aircraft design using a model of an Airbus A330, intentionally breaking the wing to showcase safety measures
- The program claims a 94% satisfaction rate and only four out of 500 people have failed to take the "liberty flight" after the course
- Captain Tom Bunn, who runs a similar program in the US, emphasizes the emotional anxiety of flying despite its safety
- Learning is a process that leads to a relatively enduring change in an organism's behavior or capabilities
- The chapter explores basic learning processes including habituation, sensitization, classical conditioning, and operant conditioning
- Observational learning and the role of cognition in conditioning are also considered in the study of learning
- Behaviourists historically defined learning as a process of personal adaptation to the ever-changing circumstances of our lives, focusing on how organisms learn and adapt to the environment
