Classical or operate conditioning?

Joni Ziak: classical conditioning is when you use a signal to cause a response(basically) Pavlov's dogs is the most common example....Pavlov noticed that whenever his dogs got food they would salivate...he rang a bell everytime they got food, which eventually conditioned the dogs to salivate whenever they heard the bell ring i think you mean operant conditioning not operating conditioning, is when you use small steps to get to a desired act. i think one example that is commonly used is with pigeons(i dont remember the guy's name) he wanted to make it so his pigeons would peck at a specific spot when they wanted to be fed. he started by rewarding them if they pecked at all, then if they pecked in the general area and eventually got the birds to peck at the exact spot. observational learning is learning that occurs as a function of observing, retaining and, in the case of imitation learning, replicating novel behavior executed by others....Show more

Margart Stimpert: ! A "classic" classical conditioning experiment would be the one involving Pavlov's dogs in which the animals were conditioned to drool at the sound of a bell that occurred right before they were fed. The food is the unconditioned stimulus. If you feed a dog, they will salivate as part of their digestion.The bell is the conditioned stimulus because it only elicits drooling after it has been thoroughly associated with being fed.The drooling at the sound of the bell is reinforced by the food that consistently comes after the bell ringing.Extinction can also occur if the bell sounds several times but no food follows. The connection between the sound of the bell and food is lost....Show more
