Higher-order conditioning when you pair stimuli to reaction classical conditioning. Model: stimulus situation dominant response, choose and reinforce some target response, stimulus situation target response. If you have reinforcement it will always increase. If you have punishment it will always decrease. Understand difference between consequences of behaviour positive versus negative and reinforcement versus punishment. Response-reinforcement bond is critical responses that get reinforced are more likely to occur. Shaping how you would train any animal to do anything, you do small steps then build up to do something to shape behaviour look at target response and what you want to do o. Reinforce every correct response: fixed ratio fr. Fr1 = cr (continuous reinforcement is basically fixed at 1 every time: variable ratio vr. Look at the arithmetic sequence and choose the average number.
