1. Operant conditioning (B F SKINNER)
1.1. Voluntary operant behavior is Learned through reinforcement and punishment.
1.2. Concepts in operant conditioning
1.2.1. 1. Experiment (Skinner box-office rat)
1.2.2. 2. Reinforcement - Increasing behavior
1.2.2.1. A) Positive reinforcement - Pleasant stimulus Which increases behaviour ( premark principle)
1.2.2.2. B) Negative reinforcement - Unpleasant stimulus which increases behaviour (escape condition avoiding)
1.2.3. 3. Punishment - Decreasing behaviour
1.2.3.1. A) Positive punishment - Pleasant stimulus which decreases behaviour (spanking)
1.2.3.2. B) Negative punishment - Unpleasant stimulus which decreases behaviour (remaining)
1.2.4. 4. Reinforcement schedule
1.2.4.1. Variations for the administration of reinforcement
1.2.4.1.1. Bases
2. Classical conditioning ( IVAN PAVLOV)
2.1. Making connections between two events that do not normally go together
2.2. Example: Pavlov's dog experiment ( dog's hungry and salivary gland secretions)
2.3. Concepts in classical conditioning
2.3.1. 1. Unconditional stimulus 2. Unconditional respond 3. Neutral stimulus 4. Neutral respond 5. Conditional stimulus 6. Conditional respond
2.4. Principles of classical conditioning
2.4.1. 1. Law of acquiration 2. Law of extinction 3. Law of discrimination 4. Higher order conditioning
