Document Summary

Two stimuli that occurs close together in time, classical conditioning will occur. Biological constraints on behaviour: take the species physical and biological assets into play to see if classical conditioning will happen. Cognitive processes: when the bell and the food is repeatedly paired together, the dog is automatically expecting the food is going to follow after the bell causing salivation. expectation is part of a brain process. Voluntary response, something we do have control over. Was not discovered by skinner but highly studied it learning through consequences, behave in a certain way that allows consequences which helps your learn. 3 components: stimulus (s), response r which is a voluntary response, consequence (4 di erent types; positive reinforcer (sr+), negative reinforcer (sr-), positive punishment, negative punishment) Positive reinforcer when something pleasant is added to the situation and this increases the probability of the response reoccurring. Factors that in uence the e ectiveness of a reinforcer.
