voluntary - operant involuntary (reflexive) - classical
Yes! phobias are developed through classical conditioning and addictions through operant conditioning.
Classical Operant Air
Classical conditioning is best known by Pavlov's dogs. This type of conditioning takes a neutral stimulus and makes a person or animal respond to it. Operant conditioning uses punishment to get a behavior to stop.
Associative Learning :)
Wendon W. Henton has written: 'Classical conditioning and operant conditioning' -- subject(s): Conditioned response, Operant conditioning
These terms apply to classical conditioning but not to operant conditioning
I believe it is Pavlov ^^ Close, but Pavlov is better associated with classical conditioning while I believe B.F. Skinner is most associated with operant conditioning.
There is no "fear conditioning"; rather, fear can become a conditioned response via Classical conditioning (Pavlov) or Operant Conditioning (B.F. Skinner).
Probably because it was the first kind of conditioning to be demonstrated and studied. See Pavlov As eluded to above, classical conditioning is called such because it was the first kind of conditioning to be studied and demonstrated. However, the term "classical" also is used to differentiate this type of conditioning from "Operant Conditioning" which was first demonstrated by B.F. Skinner.
I think... With classical conditioning, the conditional stimulus is presented before the unconditional stimulus to form a conditioned response. For example, training a dog to return when a whistle is blown. With operant conditioning, reinforcement is presented after the response. For example, rewards (positive reinforcement) are given for good behaviour. Punishment (negative reinforcement) for bad. Hope this helps... Classical conditioning was discovered accidentally by Pavlov.
Classical conditioning involves associative learning so prejudice can develop from observing prejudicial judgments. Operant conditioning involves neural responses so individuals start to form opinions about groups based on their observations.
