[PDF] animal conditioning definition

It is a type of learning in which an animal learns (or, is conditioned) from its behaviors as it acts (operates) on the environment. In operant conditioning, the likelihood of a behavior is increased or decreased by the consequences that follow.

  • What is an example of animal conditioning?

    In operant conditioning, the animal repeats behaviors that have desired consequences and avoids behaviors that lead to undesirable consequences. For instance, bears, raccoons, dogs, and rats raid garbage cans because they have learned through trial and error that doing so leads to finding food.

  • What are the different types of conditioning in animal behavior?

    In classical conditioning, a new stimulus is associated with a pre-existing response through repeated pairing of new and previously known stimuli. In operant conditioning, an animal learns to perform a behavior more or less frequently through a reward or punishment that follows the behavior.

  • Can animals be conditioned?

    Although animals can acquire conditioned responses to simple stimuli, like lights and tones, conditioning occurs faster and persists longer if the CS is from the class of fear-relevant stimuli [30].
  • This simple type of learning allows animals to behave efficiently, seeking resources where they have been found before, or collecting them in ways that have worked previously.
