    Study Notes

    Classical Conditioning

    • The term "response" refers to the observable reaction to a stimulus.
    • UCS stands for Unconditional Stimulus in classical conditioning.

    Operant Conditioning

    • Reinforcement is meant to increase the frequency of a behavior.
    • In operant conditioning, the term "positive" means adding a pleasing stimulus to increase behavior.
    • Punishment is meant to decrease the frequency of a behavior.
    • In operant conditioning, the term "negative" means removing a pleasing stimulus or adding an unpleasant one to decrease behavior.
    • A deliberate action in operant conditioning is called a response.

    Types of Conditioning

    • Associative learning occurring due to repeated pairing of two events is called classical conditioning.
