Q

What is the difference in classical conditioning & operant conditioning; when it comes to acquisition?

A

Classical conditioning: CS and US are paired, gradually resulting in CR
Operant conditioning: Responding gradually increases because of reinforcement, possibly through shaping

Q

What is the difference in classical conditioning & operant conditioning; when it comes to extinction?

A

Classical conditioning: CS is presented alone until it no longer elicits CR
Operant conditioning: responding gradually slows and stops after reinforcement is terminated

Q

What is the difference in classical conditioning & operant conditioning; when it comes to stimulus generalization?

A

Classical conditioning: CR is elicited by new stimulus that resembles original CS
Operant conditioning: responding increases in the presence of new stimulus that resembles original discriminative stimulus

Q

What is the difference in classical conditioning & operant conditioning; when it comes to stimulus discrimination?

Q

What is the difference between stimulus generalization and stimulus discrimination?

A

Stimulus generalization-an organism’s responding to stimuli other than the original stimulus used in conditioning.
Stimulus discrimination- an organism’s lack of response to stimuli that are similar to the original stimulus used in conditioning
