Behaviour and Mental Processes

Behaviour and Mental Processes

1. Classical Conditioning

   • Neutral Stimulus
     • Unconditioned Stimulus
       • Unconditioned Response
         • The response that occurs automatically when the UCS is presented
       • any stimulus that consistently produces a particular naturally occuring, automatic response
     • Conditioned Stimulus
       • Conditoned Response
         • the learned response that is produced by the CS
       • the stimulus that is 'neutral' at the start of the conditioning process but eventually elicits a very similiar response to that caused by the UCS

2. Operant Conditioning

   • Antecedent
     • Behaviour
       • Consequence
         • the consequence of the behaviour
       • The behaviour that occurs due to the antecedent
     • A stimulus that occurs before the behaviour
