Document Summary
Classical conditioning (cid:498)pavlovian(cid:499) conditioning: associated stimuli with certain other pleasant or unpleasant events, influences emotional and physiological states. Operant conditioning: animal performs a behavior and receives a specific consequence for that behavior. The animal performs a behavior and the trainer delivers specific consequences for that behavior: pleasant consequences increase frequency of a behavior, unpleasant consequences decrease the frequency of a behavior. Problems with the use of aversives: timing is critical: needs to occur within seconds of behavior occurrence, may associate the aversive with the person who administers it (owner/handler) Quadrants that are most important: benefits. Positive reinforcement (follow behavior with a reward: behavior increases) Positive punishment (follow behavior with aversive: behavior decreases) Negative punishment (follow behavior with removal of reward: behavior decreases) Negative reinforcement (follow behavior with removal of an aversive: behavior increases) Happier animal that enjoys interacting with the owner/trainer. Longer lasting effect- behavior is retained for a long time. Classically conditioned to serve as reward: secondary reinforcers.
