Document Summary
Chapter 3: respondent (classical, pavlovian) conditioning of reflexive behaviour. Respondent conditioning: discussed in chapter 3 and 13. Operant conditioning: underlies the majority of the topics in this course (chapter 4 through 14) Respondent behaviours: behaviours that are elicited by prior stimuli and are not affected by their consequences. Respondent conditioning: also called classical conditioning or pavlovian conditioning. Involves unconditioned reflexes or involuntary behaviour (e. g. , salivation in response to food), that become paired with certain stimuli. Respondent conditioning deals with behaviours that are elicited automatically by some stimulus: no production of a new behaviour, getting an existing behaviour to occur, to different stimuli. Involves reflexive behaviour (unlearned): learning of new stimulus-response connections, by pairing of stimuli. Unconditioned stimulus (us): elicits a response without prior learning or conditioning. Unconditioned response (ur): unlearned response elicited by a us. Conditioned stimulus (cs): originally neutral, now elicits reflexive response (due to pairing with another stimulus that elicits the reflexive response).
