Unit 3 Discussion

Discussion Topic 1 of 1:

Operant and respondent conditioning are both used to modify behaviors. Compare and contrast operant conditioning and respondent conditioning. Be sure to identify why each works with some behaviors and not with others. Select two behaviors, one that could be modified through operant conditioning and one that could be modified through respondent conditioning. Thoroughly discuss why each behavior chosen is more appropriate for its selected intervention (i.e., respondent or operant) and why the alternative intervention would not be appropriate.
