acquired through conditioning
All behavior can be observed due
to that behavior is controlled by

Overtime people build associations with
different types of stimuli


An unconditioned response is the unlearned
response that occurs naturally in response to
the unconditioned stimulus.
How you feel about something is your
unconditioned response
Can be different each time we see it

Conditioned stimulus is previously neutral
stimulus that, after becoming associated with
the unconditioned stimulus, eventually comes
to trigger a conditioned response.


Person or animal responds to conditioned
stimuli the same as the event
The dog eventually developed a conditioned
response to the sound of the bell

Psychologist
Concluded when a type of behavior is
followed by a positive consequence it is
more likely to occur again, this positive
effect is a reinforcer.
Negative effect is aversive and will cause a
person to move away or run away from
something.
Entire system is based on operant
conditioning

Positive Reinforcement
◦ Reward for desired behavior
◦ Person/animal associates the desired behavior
with the reward
◦ More desired behavior=Reward

Negative Reinforcement
◦ Removing some unpleasant state of affairs
◦ Make a response more likely to occur

Punishment
◦ Make behavior less likely to happen
