Amaya, almost two years old, can sleep through almost anything. The one thing she can’t sleep through is her favorite song //Gangnum Style//. A Rhianna song is playing when the video first starts and Amaya is sound asleep, but once she hears the first few beats to her favorite song she immediately wakes up and starts to dance in her car seat. It’s really adorable, but what’s going on here is some classical conditioning (Bee & Boyd 29). Amaya must’ve heard the song enough times to remember the beat as soon as it came on. My theory is that every time Amaya heard the song it made her want to dance. So in mid-slumber, her brain told her to wake up and start dancing. She might have initially watched her older sister dancing to the song; with observational learning (Bee & Boyd 31), Amaya saw what to do. The behaviorism (Bee & Boyd 29) represented by her is clearly influenced by pop-culture.
