comparing classical and operant conditioning
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| 2 methods used in operant conditioning to speed up the desired response | to increase motivation and eliminate the possibility of irrelevant responses |
| ex of discrimination in operant conditioning | you know that asking for candy in a pleasant voice will get candy; asking for candy in a pouty voice won't |
| apply operant conditioning in sports | batters first learn to hit the ball by having it pitched from 10 feet away w/an oversized ball, then it matches their level more as the pitcher moves back more, and the ball's size is reduced |
| apply operant conditioning at work | managers positively reinforce employees immediately when an achievement is done. in this way productivity is increased |
| apply operant conditioning at home | omission training; reward the behavior that you want to make it increase, when an unwanted behavior is not present. when a child puts the dishes away, reward them. when they don't, give a little punishment |
| apply operant conditioning in self-improvement | reinforce the behavior that you want to increase it by rewarding it when it is performed, or by monitoring how often you engage in your desired behavior |
| apply operant conditioning at school | electronic adaptive quizzes; students must be told immediately whether they are right or wrong AND be able to be directed to the next step when right (their own pace of learning) |
| describe response acquisition for classical conditioning | stimulus>>response; stimulates an INVOLUNTARY response; learning passively |
| describe response acquisition for operant conditioning | response>>result/stimulus; stimulates a VOLUNTARY response; learning actively; naturalistic, therefore, it takes a longer time |
| ex of stimulus generalization in operant conditioning | transfer a learned behavior to similar stimuli; when receiving cookies for saying "mama", you'll call almost anyone you see in hopes of receiving cookies |
| ex of response generalization in operant conditioning | behavior similar but diff from original response to stimulus; instead of saying "mama", you might end up saying "gaga" or "baba" |
| superstitious behavior | repeat action based on perceived reinforcement. Has no direct link as to what will happen in the future. (random reward in skinner box) |
