Classical versus Operant conditioning
Both forms of associative learning
Classical conditioning
Associations between CS and US
Involves respondent behavior-actions that are automatic responses to stimuli
(ex- salivation)
Operant conditioning
Organisms associate own actions with consequents
Actions followed by reinforcers increase
Actions followed by punishments decrease
Behavior that operates on the environment
Thorndike to Skinner
Skinner elaborated on Thorndike’s law of effect = rewarded behavior is likely to
reoccur/punished behavior less likely
Skinner developed principles of behavioral control
Shaping natural behaviors to teach pigeons, etc
Operant Conditioning
Behavior operates on the environment to produce rewarding or punishing stimuli.
Organisms associate their own actions with consequences.
Actions followed by reinforcement increase; those followed by punishments often decrease.

Document Summary

Classical versus operant conditioning: both forms of associative learning, classical conditioning, associations between cs and us. Involves respondent behavior-actions that are automatic responses to stimuli (ex- salivation: operant conditioning, organisms associate own actions with consequents, actions followed by reinforcers increase, actions followed by punishments decrease, behavior that operates on the environment. Thorndike to skinner: skinner elaborated on thorndike"s law of effect = rewarded behavior is likely to reoccur/punished behavior less likely, skinner developed principles of behavioral control, shaping natural behaviors to teach pigeons, etc. Operant conditioning: behavior operates on the environment to produce rewarding or punishing stimuli, organisms associate their own actions with consequences, actions followed by reinforcement increase; those followed by punishments often decrease.
