Document Summary
Chapter 4 theories and models of exercise behaviour ii: stimulus-response theory and integrative approaches. B. f. skinner"s stimulus-response theory (srt) suggests an explanation for how people learn new behaviours. Extended from the principles of classical conditioning and instrumental conditioning. Classical conditioning a reflexive behaviour (e. g. salivating, eye blinking things we don"t think about) can be elicited through repeated pairings of the behaviour with an antecedent cue (i. e. , a cue that precedes the behaviour). E. g. , this is how we can teach animals to do tricks: get the dog to shake a paw or roll over , and present it with a treat. According to srt, four types of events can follow a behaviour and will alter the likelihood of that behaviour occurring again in the future: positive reinforcement, negative reinforcement, punishment, extinction. A positive reinforcement is an enjoyable or pleasant outcome that makes a person feel good and that increases a particular behaviour. Intrinsic reinforcers rewards that come from within the self.
