Document Summary
Chapter 4 theories and models of exercise behaviour ii. Classical conditioning: a reflexive behaviours (salivating) can be elicited through repeated pairings of behaviour with an antecedent cue (bell, pavlov & dog. Instrumental conditioning: a voluntary behaviour can be learned by pairing the behaviour with consequent reinforcement (reward, more important when learning new behaviours, consequences have a greater impact on behaviour than antecedent. Future exercise behaviour depends primarily on whether the exerciser experienced positive or negative outcomes following previous experience. Four types of events that can follow a behaviour affect future behaviour: positive reinforcement. An enjoyable or pleasant outcome that makes a person feel good and strengthens a particular behaviour. Reinforcers should be used with caution: can make exercise seem like a chore, will mask the feelings of intrinsic rewards, negative reinforcement. An unpleasant or aversive stimuli that, when withdrawn after a behaviour, will increase the frequency of that behaviour. Ex: exercising = reduced pain = increase exercise in the future.
