1. respondent, operant: Behavioristic Theories:
Most traditional
S-R - Classical or conditioning
R-S - Instrumental or conditioning
2. classical, S-R: conditioning is a process in which a formerly neutral
stimulus when paired with an unconditioned stimulus, becomes a
conditioned stimulus that elicits a conditioned response: connection is
learned
3. operant, R-S:
4. operant, R-S: conditioning is concerned primarily with learning that
occurs as a consequence of behavior or
5. stimulus, response, stimulus: In Classical Conditioning:
1. A change in the (unconditioned stimulus to conditioned stimulus) will
elicit a particular .
2. The strength and frequency are determined mainly by the frequency of the
eliciting
(the environment event that *precedes* the behavior)
3. During the process; the unconditioned stimulus, serving as a reward, is
presented every time.
EX:
(S) stuck by a pin --> flinches (R)
(S) tapped below the knee --> flexes lower leg (R)
6. cue, response, consequences, correct: In Operant Conditioning:
1. One particular response out of many possible ones occurs in a given
stimulus situation.
2. The stimulus serves as a . It does not elicit the response but serves as a
cue for a person to emit the response.
3. The critical aspect is what happens as a consequence of the .
4. The strength and frequency are determined mainly by the (the
environment event that *follows* the behavior)
