Document Summary
Lecture 7: respondent and operant conditioning together & generalizing behavioural change. If a neutral stimulus is followed closely in time by an unconditioned stimulus (us), which elicits an unconditioned response (ur), then the previously neutral stimulus will also elicit the ur in the future. The modification of behaviour by its consequences. Pairing of ns and us comes before the response (respondent), in contrast to the presentation of positive reinforcers after a response(operant), the order of things vary between respondent and operant. Presenting the cs without the us(respondent), vs. withholding a reinforcer (continue the behaviour without reinforcement and the behaviour stops) Both produce responses that have been conditioned to them, but the conditioning procedures differ. Sds evoke responses, and operant behaviours are emitted by individuals. Experiences often include both respondent and operant conditioning occurring together. Complete behavioural explanations sometimes require consideration of both.
