Document Summary

Any given experience is likely to include both respondent and operant conditioning occurring concurrently. Stimuli associated with the deadline likely caused rick to feel anxious, a respondent response, and responding to meet the deadline, operant responses, were maintained by the negative reinforcement of the decrease in rick"s anxiety. Both operant and respondent conditioning also occur in behavioral sequences involving positive reinforcers. Autonomic nervous system: digestive system, the circulatory system, and the respiratory system reflexes are controlled by the part of our nervous system. Cross-cultural evidence suggests that these reflexive reactions may be universal. We learn to describe these physiological components of our emotions as feelings. Presentation and withdrawal of reinforcers and presentation and withdrawal of aversive stimuli produce at least four major emotions. The presentation of aversive stimuli = anxiety. Other emotions might represent a mixture of some of these basic emotions.
