What is classical conditioning?
Learned association between two events. One event is neutral and one even elicits an unconditioned response.
What is operant conditioning?
Learning by association with what happens after a behavior
What is the difference between classical and operant conditioning
Classical forms and association between two stimuli where operant forms an association between a behavior and a consequence
What is an antecedent
Any stimulus present in the environment before the behavior occurs. It can be anything they notice which happens prior to the behavior.
What is a consequence
Anything that happens to the dog as a result of the behavior
What is punishment
Anything that stuns stops or decreases a behavior. Can be positive or negative
What is positive punishment
An aversive is added ( you are adding a punishment )
Example: bark collar shocking when a dog parks.
What is negative reinforcement
An aversive is subtracted. Pressure on a leash is removed when forcing dog into a down is successful.
What is negative punishment
Reward is subtracted. Something is taken away for unwanted behavior
Positive reinforcement
Reward is added to increase good behavior
What is extinction
A history of positive reinforcement. Can only extinguish behaviors you have first fueled.
Example: you can only extinguish a fire that is already lit
What is extinction burst
Phenomena of behavior temporarily or briefly getting worse, not better, when a previously rewarded behavior is no longer rewarded.
spontaneous recovery
Behavior affected by extinction is apt to recur in the future when trigger is presented again
Latency of response
How fast dog performers actions once the que is given
Physical response
Correct response to a que.
example: dog sits when owner asks
