Homework Help: psychology

Posted by jenna on Monday, November 6, 2006 at 2:20pm.

In class we were asked to provide an one example of classical and operant conditioning. We have to identify the stimulus, response and reinforcers in each example.

here are my examples:

Clasical Conditioning- My cat comes running everytime she hears the can opener.

Operant Conditoning-My daughter is given chores to do during the week. If she completes them then she recieves a reward.

Can you help me identify the stimulus, reponse and reinforcers? Thanks

What do you think the stimulus, response, and enforcers are in these examples? We'll be glad to comment after we see your ideas.

Will you please check my work now to see if I am right?

In example 1:
Stimulus-Food
Response-Approach
Reinforcer-Sound of the can opener

In example 2:
Stimulus-Money
Response-completes her chores
Reinforcer-chores
