what are the similarities and differences of classical and operant conditioning?
99961
Classical and operant conditioning are both similar because they involve making association between behaviour and events in an organism's environment and are governed by several general laws of association - for example, it is easier to associate stimuli that are similar to each other and that occur at similar times.

Ivan Pavlov's classical conditioning was perhaps the first behaviorist theory to emerge. Pavlov recognized that a neutral stimulus associates with a reflex response through conditioning. For example, when a teacher claps out a pattern, students repeat the pattern while focusing their attention to the teacher.

Operant conditioning is a type of learning in which behavior becomes more or less probable depending on the consequences. It is associated with the psychologist B.F. Skinner. Observational learning is learning by watching others.

The theory of Classical Conditioning deals with the learning process leading us to gain a new behavior via the process of association. Operant conditioning is a form of learning which explains the relation of behaviors on certain rewards and consequences.

Remember that reinforcement, even when it is negative, always increases a behavior. In contrast, punishment always decreases a behavior. In positive punishment, you add an undesirable stimulus to decrease a behavior. ... In negative punishment, you remove a pleasant stimulus to decrease a behavior.

Probably the most important difference is that in Pavlovian conditioning a stimulus (the US) is contingent on the appearance of another stimulus (the CS), whereas in operant learning a stimulus (the reinforcer or punisher) is contingent on a behavior.

Classical conditioning involves associating an involuntary response and a stimulus, while operant conditioning is about associating a voluntary behavior and a consequence. ... In a classroom setting, a teacher might utilize operant conditioning by offering tokens as rewards for good behavior.

Reinforcement, punishment, and extinction. Reinforcement and punishment, the core tools of operant conditioning, are either positive (delivered following a response), or negative (withdrawn following a response).

Types of Learning Both classical and operant conditioning are forms of associative learning, in which associations are made between events that occur together. Observational learning is just as it sounds: learning by observing others.

The social learning theory is based on the conditions you are in and if you will pick up on the actions and behaviors of others. Operant conditioning depends on consequences for your actions.

Important elements of classical conditioning include unconditioned and conditioned stimuli, unconditioned and conditioned responses, extinction, reconditioning, spontaenous recovery, stimulus generalization, and stimulus discrimination.

A continuous schedule of reinforcement (CR) in an operant conditioning procedure results in the acquisition of associative learning and the formation of long-term memory. A 50 % partial reinforcement (PR) schedule does not result in learning. ... A CR/PR schedule results in a longer-lasting memory than a PR/CR schedule.

What is the difference between reinforcement and punishment in operant conditioning? Reinforcement is anything that increases the frequency of a behaviour. Punishment decreases the frequency. ... Punishment, on the other hand, is adding a negative consequence if undesired behaviour occurs.

Stimulus generalization occurs when a stimulus that is similar to an already-conditioned stimulus begins to produce the same response as the original stimulus does. Stimulus discrimination occurs when the organism learns to differentiate between the CS and other similar stimuli.

Behavioral Theories. Define and contrast the three types of behavioral learning theories (contiguity, classical conditioning, and operant conditioning), giving examples of how each can be used in the classroom.

With negative reinforcement, you are increasing a behavior, whereas with punishment, you are decreasing a behavior. The following are some examples of negative reinforcement: Bob does the dishes (behavior) in order to stop his mother's nagging (aversive stimulus).

An unconditioned response is the naturally occurring response that follows the unconditioned stimulus. A conditioned stimulus is a neutral stimulus that, after being repeatedly presented prior to the unconditioned stimulus, evokes a similar response as the unconditioned stimulus.
