Document Summary
Thought that cat would then continuously do this behaviour (wrong) What happened is that it would gradually learn over time. Behaviours with positive consequence are stamped in. Those with negative consequences are stamped out. Reward training: presentation of a positive reinforcer following a response. Punishment training: presentation of a negative reinforce leads to a decrease in the behaviour being reinforced. Authority figure may become a signal for pain or distress from classical conditioning. Omission training: removing a positive reinforce leads to a decrease of behaviour being reinforced. Escape training: removal of a negative reinforcer leading to increase of behaviour being reinforced. Acquisition: organism learns contingency between a stimulus and a biologically important event. Leads to learning the contingency between a response and its consequence Shaping: steps that gradually build up to final complex behaviour along with reward training. Sd: when a contingency between a particular response and reinforcement is on.
