PSYB45H3 Chapter Notes - Chapter 15: 6 Years, Classical Conditioning, Pharyngeal Reflex
Document Summary
Chapter 15 respondent and operant conditioning together. Respondent behaviors are elicited by prior stimuli and are not affected by: ex. Feeling anxious when walking into a final exam, salivating when you smell the food placed in front of you, or blushing when you walk out of a restroom and someone points out that your zipper is undone. Operant behavior, is the behavior that affects the environment to produce consequence, and which is, in turn, influenced by those consequences: ex. Behavioral sequence that involves both respondent and operant. If the child sees a large dog nearby, it will likely be a cs eliciting anxiety. If the child runs away, the anxiety is likely to decrease. Both operant and respondent conditioning also occur in behavioral sequences involving positive reinforcers. (figure 15. 3) Emotion researchers recognize that there are several sides or components to any emotion. (a) the feeling component, which is internal, private and subjective (b) an overt, public and objective component.
