Study Notes
Classical Conditioning
- Classical conditioning was first described by Ivan Pavlov.
- The unconditioned stimulus (US) is the stimulus that produces the desired response naturally.
Key Components of Classical Conditioning
- The conditioned stimulus (CS) is the chosen stimulus in classical conditioning.
- The conditioned response (CR) is the response the subject is conditioned to emit as a result of classical conditioning.
Operant Conditioning
- Operant conditioning is a more sophisticated form of learning also known as instrumental conditioning.
- Operant conditioning was first developed by B.F. Skinner.
- Classical conditioning involves developing a desired response through associations between stimuli, whereas operant conditioning involves modifying behavior through its consequences, such as rewards or punishments.
