Extinction & spontaneous recovery: way to eliminate cr when it is no longer appropriate. Acquiring & overcoming fear: behaviorists: view that snakes have become a fear-triggering cs because of pairing with an aversive ucs (e. g. , injury) and stimulus generalization, study to obtain evidence that fear could be conditioned, little albert. Operant conditioning: learning through consequences: not elicited responses automatically triggered by some stimulus, rather, they are emitted (voluntary) responses and are a learned in a different way. Thorndike"s law of effect: explored how animals learn to solve problems, built a puzzle box, could be opened from the inside by pulling a string or stepping on a lever, placed hungry animal in box. Satisfying consequence will become more likely to occur, and a response followed by an unsatisfying outcome will become less likely to occur. Antecedent conditions: identifying when to respond: antecedent may be general situation or specific stimulus, e. g. , rat simply being in the skinner box is the antecedent condition.
