Skinner and Pavlov: Together at Last (Together Forever) (Room CDE)

17 Oct 18
3:00 PM - 5:00 PM

Tracks: Animal Learning

Students of behavior science are generally taught about Classical (Pavlovian) Conditioning and Operant (Skinnerian) Conditioning one at a time. In real life, though, Classical and operant Conditioning are anything but separate. This session will explore how these types of conditioning interact, and why ignoring one or the other cna be problematic. It will also address how to incorporate Operant and Classical Conditioning into training in a more conscious and integrated way.
