Document Summary
Sniffy lab manual :43-63 are testable: 1. classical conditioning and 2. operant conditioning. Spontaneous recovery: looking for effect of conditioning, cumulative record: Every time sniffy presses the bar 75 times, the pen drops. Start with classical conditioning to make the rat make a connection b/w the wanted action and the reward given: It conditions stimulus to signal that the unconditioned stimulus will happen soon. Neutral stimulus must always be paired with the unconditioned one. Result: the neutral stimulus is associated with the unconditioned stimulus. Becomes conditioned stimulus: causes conditioned response. The sound must be immediate after the desired answer. Magazine training: turning food into secondary reinforcer. Type of learning in which the actions of an individual are modified by the consequences. Frequency of desired thing is increased by giving reward. Shaping behaviour by rewarding parts of desired behaviour. Today"s experiment: training sniffy to press the bar: 1. classical conditioning and 2. operant conditioning, dependent variable: rate (# of presses/min)
