Directions: As usual include the example (images too) in its entirety (including my asides!)
For each example below, decide if the behavior in question was acquired through operant or classical conditioning.
If operant conditioning (OC), identify which type of consequence was responsible for the behavior change (i.e., positive/negative reinforcement; positive/negative punishment). EXPLAIN WHY! For example: What is being given or take way? What is increasing or decreasing?
3. If classical conditioning (CC), identify the UCS, UCR, NS, CS, and CR.
