Module 27
Operant Conditioning
This Stems to the law of Affect: This is when Thorndike's principle that a behavior is more likely to reoccur with a reinforce and less likely to occur with an unfavorable consequence
Descriptive Stimuli: These act as cues and help the animal realize and expect what the reinforcement will be
-
Types of Reinforcers
Negative reinforcement: This reinforcement decreases the behavior because it is takes away from the organism, It acts similar to a punishment
-
Positive Reinforcement: This reinforcement increases the behavior because it is more desirable for the organism
Conditioned Reinforcer: A stimulus that gains its reinforcement through association with the primary reinforcer

Classical Conditioning
Habituation may occur then after, this is where after repeated exposure to a stimulus the response weakens

.
Types of Stimuli

Neutral Stimulus (NS)
In classical conditioning, a stimulus that does not originally cause a response
Module 30

Mirror Neurons: These are neurons that are located in the frontal lobe and are dedicated to mirroring others people's actions
Some Scientists debate on if this actually occurs

The ability for animals to associate CS with US is mainly adaptive but not always this is a part of natural selection and helps them within survival
Instinctive drift is where animals revert back to original biologically predisposed patterns
Simplified the animals revert back to their genetic patterns
This may be exemplified by a Raccoon when it tries to wash cotton candy over and over and over again
Preparedness: Biological adaptions to develop certain taste aversions in order to increase survival rate
This was developed throughout natural selection
