Document Summary
Chapter 14: procedures based on principles of respondent conditioning. Operant conditioning, which is the process of strengthening a behavior by reinforcing it or weakening it by punishing it. Operant behaviours that operate in the environment to generate consequences and are in turn controlled by those consequences. Respondent behaviour: are behaviours caused by prior stimuli and are not affected by their consequences. Respondent conditioning is based on unconditioned reflexes. Unconditioned reflex: is a stimulus response relationship in which a stimulus automatically elicits a response apart from any prior learning. Unconditioned stimulus: a stimulus that elicits a response without prior learning or conditioning. Unconditioned response: a response elicited by an unconditioned stimulus. States that if a stimulus is followed closely in time by a us that elicits a ur then the will also tend to elicit that response in the future. Conditioned reflex: stimulus response relationship in which a stimulus elicits a response because of prior respondent conditioning.
