PSYB45H3 Chapter Notes - Chapter 15-16: Emo, Reinforcement, Primitive Reflexes
Document Summary
The operant response of the child approaching the dog was followed by a punisher (the child was knocked down). Consistent with the principle of punishment, the child is less likely to approach large dogs in the future. Moreover, the sight of a large dog nearby is likely to be a conditioned punisher (because of a pairing with being knocked down). The respondent component of emotions involves primarily the three major classes of respondents: reflexes of the digestive system, the circulatory system, and the respiratory system. The autonomic nervous system is not involved in all respondent behaviors. When you experience an emotion-causing event, your body responds with an immediate physiological reaction and accompanying facial expression (the respondent (cid:272)o(cid:373)po(cid:374)e(cid:374)t(cid:895) (cid:449)hat o(cid:272)(cid:272)urs (cid:374)e(cid:454)t depe(cid:374)ds o(cid:374) (cid:455)our opera(cid:374)t lear(cid:374)i(cid:374)g e(cid:454)perie(cid:374)(cid:272)es. Operant conditioning is also involved when we are taught to be aware of and describe our emotions.
