Document Summary
Chapter 14: procedures based on principles of respondent conditioning. Respondent behaviours: behaviours elicited by prior stimuli and were not affected by their consequences. (e. g. salivating to dinner, feeling frightened when watching a scary movie) Cs: cr: conditioned response is a response elicited by a cs. Factors influencing respondent conditioning: # of pairings of a cs with a us, timing of the cs in relation to the us (usually present the cs right before the us, consistent pairing of cs with us. Higher order conditioning: neutral stimulus becomes a cs by being paired with another cs instead of. When both are paired, the positive emotions help counteract the negative emotions associated with cr of fear & quickly/effectively eliminates negative responses. Responses: respondent behaviours are reflexive & automatic prior to stimuli (often called involuntary, e. g. it is difficult to ask people to blush/salivate on command, operant behaviour is controlled by its consequences (often called voluntary)
