How do you guys structure a classical conditioning and operant conditioning response? Like what keys words etc. do we need to include.
Eg. If it asked, (for operant conditioning), how could Jane stop her daughters behaviour of talking in class?
And for classical conditioning too.
Thanks!!
OPERANT CONDITIONINGIF it said use the three-phase model of operant conditioning, then you would mention the:
- Antecedent (Being in class)
- Behaviour (Jane talks in class- Jane's mother is notified)
- Consequence (Jane's mother uses response cost- she takes away Jane's phone for 2 weeks (desired stimulus), to decrease the likelihood that she will continue talking in class in the future (undesirable behaviour).
IF it said what made Jane's behaviour of talking in class stop/decrease, you would just mention the consequence of response cost. This would usually be a
2 mark question (1 mark for saying response cost, and the other for explaining how her behaviour of talking in class would be decreased through the removal of a desirable stimulus) ----> you could also use positive punishment.
CLASSICAL CONDITIONING IF it said using the language of classical conditioning, then you could mention all the NS,UCS,UCR.... in the form of a sentence/story.
IF it said use the three-phase model/process of classical conditioning, then you would have to integrate the NS, UCS.... into
before conditioning,
during conditioning (acquisition) and
after conditioning.
Before conditioning: NS---> NR
UCS---> UCR--->
During conditioning (acquisition):NS+UCS---> UCR (through repeated association)- or could occur just once in phobias
After conditioning:CS---> CR
