Document Summary
Chapter 4: theories and models of exercise behaviour ii. Classical conditioning a reflexive behaviour can be elicited through repeated pairing of behaviour with an antecedent cue. Experiment with the dog, pairing the bell with the dog getting food constantly, afterwards you don"t need to present the food and the dog will salivate without the physical food there. Limited application when we talk about exercise interventions. Instrumental conditioning a voluntary behaviour can be learned by pairing the behaviour with consequent reinforcement. Experiment with a dog and a trick, if the dog does the trick they will reward/reinforce the behaviour with a bone. The dog will more likely engage in the behaviour with the possibility of being given the bone. Activity is presented with a reinforcement, if it is constant they will pair it together. If someone engages in physical activity and something positive happens, they are more likely to engage in that activity again.
