Document Summary

Chapter 4: theories and models of exercise behaviour ii. Classical conditioning: a reflective behaviour can be elicited through repeated pairings of behaviour with an antecedent cue. If ringing a bell with food for a dog, after a while you can just ring the bell and the dog will salivate because he associates the bell with the food. Instrumental conditioning: a voluntary behaviour can be learned by pairing the behaviour with consequent reinforcement. If a dog does a trick on command, will reward that behaviour with a bone. the dog is then more likely to engage in this behaviour when asked due to the reward. positive reinforcement. If do this for a child and you give them a treat after they are active, this is a positive reinforcer and the child will be more likely to do this again. Future exercise behaviour depends primarily on whether the exerciser experienced positive or negative outcomes following previous exercise bouts.
