Generalization and Discrimination: even though the response is emitted, animals can be taught to discriminate between situations. A pigeon will learn that they will get a pellet when they press a lever... when they press the lever and there is a red light no (negative discriminative stimulus [S-]), when there is a green light yes (positive disciminative stimulus [S+]). In difference to CS- and CS+, the S+ and S- tells the animal the impact of their behaviour: no point in acting (S-) or act now to get reward (S+) versus the CS+ and CS- which mean no matter what the reward comes or does no (it is indifferent to the animal's behaviour. Same can be stated for generalization... animals will respond to similar stimuli if they are similar to original

What are the key elements in operant conditioning?

Key elements in operant conditioning include reinforcement (positive or negative) and punishment, shaping behavior through reinforcement schedules, and the concept of extinction when the learned behavior is no longer reinforced. Additionally, operant conditioning involves the principles of stimulus control, generalization, and discrimination.


What is stimulus discrimination in operant conditioning and classical conditioning?

Stimulus discrimination in operant conditioning refers to the ability to respond differently to similar stimuli based on specific cues or features present in the environment. In classical conditioning, stimulus discrimination involves learning to differentiate between two similar stimuli and responding differently to each based on the conditioning experience.


In operant conditioning when a behavior that has been reinforced in one context begins to be exhibited in other contexts and situations blank has occurred?

Generalization has occurred in operant conditioning when a behavior that has been reinforced in one context starts to be exhibited in different contexts and situations. This means that the individual is demonstrating the learned behavior beyond the original setting where it was reinforced.


What is another name for Operant Conditioning?

Operant Conditioning is also called Skinner after B.F. Skinner who created the Skinner Box.


Is involuntary and voluntary a classical or operant conditioning?

Involuntary conditioning is associated with classical conditioning, while voluntary conditioning is associated with operant conditioning. Classical conditioning involves learning by association between stimuli, while operant conditioning involves learning by reinforcement or punishment of behaviors.


What are the 5 conditioning processes identified by Pavlov?

Pavlov identified the five conditioning processes as acquisition, extinction, spontaneous recovery, generalization, and discrimination. These processes describe how learned behaviors are acquired, maintained, and may change over time.


What is an example of discrimination of operant conditioning inside the class?

An example of discrimination in operant conditioning in a classroom setting could be a teacher only providing positive reinforcement, such as praise or rewards, to students who raise their hands before speaking, while ignoring or reprimanding students who call out without raising their hands. This differential response to the behavior of raising hands versus calling out is an example of discrimination.


When was operant conditioning discovered and by whom?

Operant conditioning was discovered by psychologist B.F. Skinner in the 1930s.


Can addictions be developed through operant conditioning?

Yes! phobias are developed through classical conditioning and addictions through operant conditioning.


How are generalization and discrimination related to classical conditioning?

Generalization occurs when an animal responds to a second stimulus similar to the original BS without prior training with the second stimulus. Discrimination is the ability to respond differently to different stimuli.These two processes are related to classical conditioning because associations are being made between a neutral stimulus and an unconditioned stimulus, thus, allowing the subjects to learn.
