Document Summary

Magazine training: turning the food delivery sound into a secondary reinforcer. Using classical conditioning to associate sound of bar with the food. Transform sound of bar from a neutral stimulus into a conditioned stimulus. Shaping bar pressing: using positive reinforcement to train new behaviours. Cumulative record: tracking sni y"s bar presses on a printer-like apparatus. Extinction of bar pressing: when the behaviour no longer produces any rewards. When in the last 5 minutes sni y pressed less than 3 times. Spontaneous recovery: the reappearance of the behaviour after extinction and timeout. Shaping: gradually modifying behaviour through series of successive target behaviour. I. e. teaching a dog how to fetch. Classical conditioning: based on a involuntary response. Association between neutral stimulus and the ucs (pairing before behaviour) If a behaviour is immediately followed by a positive outcome; Sound-food association: association between the sound of the food pellet-dispensing mechanism and the fact that the pellet of food is available in the hopper.
