00:03

And here's your shmoop du jour brought to you by classic [Man splashes conditioner on head]

00:06

conditioning it's how Beethoven got those silky locks here's our question

00:11

learning that influences our voluntary behavior is known as what and here are

00:18

the potential answers... when

00:23

you think of A classical conditioning you might think of Pavlov and his [Pavlov with lots of dogs]

00:28

slobbering canines, mostly because you've been classically conditioned to

00:32

associate classical conditioning with that experiment

00:35

cool huh anyway classical conditioning is the process in which an innate

00:39

response like drooling to a potent stimulus, like delicious food can come

00:44

to be elicited in response to a previously neutral stimulus like a bell [A bell ringing]

00:49

let's see it in action ring a bell, bring food, doggy drools ring

00:54

a bell, bring food, doggy drools over and over and over again and then one day

00:58

ring a bell but don't bring food what happens doggy still drools [Man rings bell and dog appears drooling]

01:03

that's classical conditioning so does this fit what we're looking for

01:07

no we're looking for learning that influences our voluntary behavior is

01:13

drooling voluntary unless you're actively trying to drool in order to [Man drooling]

01:17

gross someone out then no it's not so this can't be it if we're looking for

01:22

learning that influences voluntary behavior then behavioral conditioning

01:26

sounds about right almost as right as the ringing of the [Person ringing a bell]

01:29

bell sorry drooled a little bit there anyway while it might sound right it

01:34

also sounds a bit like it doesn't exist because it doesn't, because behavioral

01:40

conditioning is actually known as operant conditioning which is the answer

01:45

we were looking for and actually includes both reinforcement and

01:48

punishment.. Operant conditioning involves the use of reinforcement and punishment

01:53

to modify behavior and specifically helps in teaching adaptive conscious [Definition of operant conditioning]

01:57

behavior let's look at our pal Mikey for a second Mikey here clearly doesn't like

02:02

cleaning his room a whole lot however he realizes that by doing it he keeps his [Mikey sweeping his bedroom]

02:06

parents happy and is able to earn an allowance because of it two positive

02:11

forms of reinforcement that influence his voluntary behavior

02:15

and as for the punishment well he knows that if he doesn't do it he'll face the

02:18

wrath of yeah her so while D and E are part of the correct answer the complete

02:24

answer we're looking for is B and if you'd excuse us we have to clean up

02:28

the drool stop bringing that thing it's not funny [Man mopping up doggy drool]
