Description
In this presentation, Dr. Richard Laitinen expounds on the history, concepts, findings, and current status of respondent conditioning, with an eye toward creating a forum discussion around the heterogeneous findings of previous stimulus-stimulus pairings. He examines Stephanie da Silva and April Michele Williams’ “Translation of Stimulus-Stimulus Pairings: Autoshaping of Learner Vocalizations”, details key figures in the evolution of classical conditioning, identifies and elucidates the types of respondent contingencies, defines the components of pairing contingencies, and discusses the conditioning contingencies that inhibit responding.
