5 Questions
How does operant conditioning differ from classical conditioning?
Operant conditioning focuses on the relationship between behavior and consequences.
What is the main focus of classical conditioning?
Pairing stimuli to create associations
What are the two types of reinforcement in operant conditioning?
Positive (adding something) and negative (taking something away) reinforcement
Explain the difference between reinforcement and punishment in operant conditioning.
Reinforcement increases behavior, while punishment decreases behavior.
Describe the reciprocal relationship of consequences in operant conditioning.
Consequences shape and influence behavior based on the outcomes.
Study Notes
- Classical conditioning involves pairing stimuli to create associations that influence behavior.
- Operant conditioning focuses on the relationship between behavior and consequences, influencing behavior.
- In operant conditioning, consequences can be reinforcement (increasing behavior) or punishment (decreasing behavior).
- Reinforcement can be positive (adding something) or negative (taking something away), affecting behavior differently.
- Punishment can also be positive (adding something) or negative (taking something away), decreasing the likelihood of a behavior recurring.
- All these consequences in operant conditioning have a reciprocal relationship, shaping and influencing behavior based on the outcomes.
