Nice to meet you Hugo, my name is Yesenia.Welcome to Psychology 101
I think so, anyways, I'll stay
Philosophy? Well, it's quite different
And what is this about?
Nice! You won't regret it.
What is that? I've never heard of that
Right now we are seeing classical and operant conditioning.
And what about the other one?
Well, I'll explain it.Classical conditioning is the procedure in which an initially neutral stimulus is paired with an unconditioned stimulus. The result is that the conditioned stimulus begins to elicit a conditioned response.
So, basically you can control animals? Only animals?
Is a process in which animals learn about the relationship between their behaviors and their consequences
But how is that possible?
Control? Not like controlling, more like training. We can use it with humans too.
And what if I want to keep the behavior?
They use many resources, for example extinction or a punisher. Those help to reduce or eliminate a behavior you don't want by not giving any type of reinforcement or giving a negative one.
That is awesome! I wanna know more. Can I learn about that even if I don't study psychology?
Then you need to use a reinforcer. Theystrengthens the behavior or increases the likelihood that it will be performed it again. It can be a reward or even a nice comment like You're doing great
Can I have a sit next to you?
Yes, you can. We are happy to have more students here.
