on the idea that behaviors can be measured, trained and changed. KEY CONCEPTS • OPERANT CONDITIONING ( Skinner)- utilizes reinforcement and punishment to create associations between behaviors and the consequences for those behaviors. • CLASSICAL CONDITIONING ( Pavlov) - a process that involves creating an association between a naturally existing stimulus and a previously neutral one. Imagine a dog that salivates when it sees food. The food is the naturally occurring stimulus. If you started

Classical Conditioning Pavlov: Conditional learning results when a stimulus (unconditional stimulus: food) that is paired with another stimulus (conditional stimulus = bell) that elicits a known response serves to produce the same response when used alone
