[PDF] conditioning animal behaviour

In operant conditioning, an animal's behavior is conditioned by the consequences that follow. That is, a behavior will happen either more or less often, depending on its results. When an animal performs a particular behavior that produces a favorable result, the animal is likely to repeat the behavior.

  • What is an example of conditioning animal behavior?

    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.

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

    The conditioning theory of learning describes a form of learning where learning occurs as a result of associating a condition or stimulus with a particular reaction or response.
    Human behavior is shaped by habits we pick up in response to certain situations in life and is the outcome of learning by conditioning theory.
