Document Summary
Unconditional reflex: is unlearned or not conditional on any pairing process (food- salivation reflex) Conditional reflex: is learned or conditional on a pairing process (tone-salivation reflex) Advocated an alternative approach that he called behaviorism. He argued that most complex activities were due to pavlovian conditioning. He used pavlovian conditioning of a fear response in an 11-month-old infant. Reciprocal inhibition: if one group of muscles is stimulated, an antagonistic muscle group will be inhibited, and vice versa. A general process acting throughout the nervous system. Systematic desensitization: used relaxation responses to inhibit a learned fear or anxiety: f skinner. The first psychologist to make a clear distinction between behavior that is elicited by stimuli (respondent) and behavior that is controlled by its consequences (operant). Lever that a laboratory rat could press experimental chamber a skinner box. Operant conditioning: type of learning in which behavior is modified by its consequences.
