PSYB45H3 Lecture Notes - Lecture 2: Classical Conditioning, Operant Conditioning, Conditioned Taste Aversion
Document Summary
Lecture 2: respondent vs. operant conditioning; positive and. Operant behaviours behaviours that are modi ed by their consequences; increased by reinforcers, decreased by punishers; voluntary behaviours, most of our behaviours are this; e. g. gambling, driving at speed limit. Respondent conditioning also called classical conditioning or pavlovian conditioning; involves unconditioned re exes or involuntary behaviour (e. g. salivation in response to food), that become paired with certain stimuli. Operant conditioning also called instrumental conditioning, has to do with the consequences of voluntary behaviours. Deals with behaviours that are elicited automatically by some stimulus: no production of a new behaviour. : getting an existing behaviour to occur, to di erent stimuli, involves re exive behaviour (unlearned, learning of new stimulus-response connections, by pairing of stimuli. Unconditioned stimulus (us) elicits a response without prior learning or conditioning. Unconditioned response (ur) unlearned response, elicited by a us.
