Three types of conditioning (learning)
- BEFORE conditioning
- DURING conditioning
- AFTER conditioning
NEUTRAL STIMULUS (NS)
An event that does not produce a response
UNCONDITIONED STIMULUS (UCS)
An event that produces unlearned reflex
UNCONDITIONED RESPONSE (USR)
an unlearned reflex behaviour that an organism does when exposed to unconditional stimulus
CONDITIONED RESPONSE (CR)
A learned physical reflex behaviour that an organism produces when exposed to conditioned stimulus
OPERANT CONDITIONING
Learning through consequences
THREE WAYS OF OPERANT CONDITIONING
- Positive Reinforcement
- Negative Reinforcement
- Punishment
POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT
- actions done to get a reward
e.g children getting stickers
NEGATIVE REINFORCEMENT
- actions done to avoid a punishment
e.g you would hand your homework in on time to avoid detention
PUNISHMENT
- actions that lead to unpleasant consequences.
e.g you are grounded for not coming home on time
