      • Dog harnessed and salivated when he saw the food after the bell rang
      • experiment
        • NS=No response, US= UR
        • NS+US=UR
        • CS=CR
      • Fears may have developed in this way

    • Operant Conditioning

      • Rat becomes operantly conditioned as it learns that when you press the lever you get food
      • Must use reinforcementor punishment immediately
      • Punishment often doesn't work
      • Consequences
        • Positive reinforcement
          • increase in behaviour by receiving something pleasant
        • Negative Reinforcement
          • Increase in behaviour by receiving something unpleasant
        • Punishment
          • Decrease in behaviour by anything unpleasant
      • Behaviour modification
        • 3 step training method
