Document Summary

Bill(cid:455) has gotte(cid:374) used to the idea of (cid:396)e(cid:272)ei(cid:448)i(cid:374)g (cid:1004) fo(cid:396) e(cid:448)e(cid:396)(cid:455) ti(cid:373)e he sho(cid:448)els his (cid:374)eigh(cid:271)o(cid:396)"s driveway. Billy needs more money to buy a fancy new sled, so he starts to shovel all of the driveways on his street. However, no one pays billy for his services. The extinction responses: emotional, variability, depression, aggression, resurgence, For sniffy: not all 6 observations will be present, but throw in a hypothesis about what they would look like. An animal has to shuttle back and forth in a box to avoid an aversive stimulus. Example: a rat in a chamber must climb over a low barrier to stop feeling a shock. This procedure demonstrates that we first learn to escape from and aversive stimulus and then avoid it.

Avoidance: light: cross barrier avoidance of shock. An early attempt by to explain avoidance behaviour.
