    Study Notes

    • Behaviour problems in pets are a common issue, some of which are normal innate behaviours that become problematic (e.g. separation anxiety), while others are abnormal (compulsive or stereotypic behaviours).
    • Learning and modification of behaviour is a multi-disciplinary field of study, including ethology (adaptive behaviour in natural conditions), physiology (behaviour influenced by physiological processes), and learning-based approaches (modifying behaviour through conditioning and learning).
    • Clinical behaviour study encompasses three main areas: ethology-based (innate qualities of animals), physiology-based (behaviour influenced by physiological processes including neuroendocrine and neurotransmitter imbalances), and learning-based (animals learn all the time, behaviour modification involves rewarding good behaviour and discouraging bad behaviour).
    • The illness model, which views behavioural problems as mental illnesses, is being challenged in human ethology and may not be effective for animals as treatments may not be a long-lasting solution.
    • Behavioural modification techniques include the intentional or structural use of conditioning and learning procedures, as well as altering the environment to improve the prospects of improving behaviour.
    • Habituation is a learning process involving a response to a repeated stimulus, which can lead to unwanted behaviours (anxiety to loud noises) but can also be desensitized through gradual exposure or flooding (full amount of stimulus provided at once).
    • Classical conditioning is an associative learning process where a neutral stimulus induces an involuntary physiological-behavioural response, either appetitive (pleasant) or aversive (unpleasant).
    • Operant conditioning is a learning process where responses are voluntary and goal-driven, with behavioural actions leading to rewards or punishments.
    • Positive reinforcement involves rewarding desired behaviours to increase their likelihood, while positive punishment involves using an aversive stimulus to prevent unwanted behaviours (controversial due to potential resistance and ethical concerns).
