Document Summary
Principles of classical conditioning: extinction, they do not always last forever. If the conditioned stimulus is repeatedly presented without the unconditioned stimulus, the conditioned response will eventually disappear and extinction occurs. In operant conditioning, an organism"s response operates or produces effects on the environment, which then influence if the response will occur again: classical conditioning has a typically reflexive response, while responses in operant conditioning are often complex. Positive and negative reinforcers & punishers: positive reinforcement: where a response is followed by an intensity of a reinforcing stimulus causing it to become stronger or more likely to occur, ex. If studying makes you lose time with your friends (negative punishment), you may stop studying: positive and negative refer to whether something is given or taken away, and a response becomes more likely in both cases. It is a procedure that causes a previously learned response to stop, similar to in classical conditioning.
