It is essential for an applied behavioral analyst to be able to define each one and identify the similarities and differences between them. In the following paper, each previous element will be addressed and two examples will be given for each type of conditioning. Definitions Respondent conditioning is a œstimulus“stimulus pairing procedure in which a neutral stimulus (NS) is presented with an unconditioned stimulus (US) until the neutral stimulus becomes a conditioned stimulus that elicits the conditioned response (Cooper, Heron, & Heward, 2020, p.798). In other words, it is a type of learning process where the situation or experimenter put together two stimuli to create an association in the receiver and elicit a response or appeal to a reflex (Cooper et al., 2020). Operant conditioning on the other hand occurs as a result of the consequences following a behavior; making said behavior increase or decrease in future and similar circumstances (Miltenberger, 2016). Cooper et al (2020) define this type of conditioning as œthe process and selective effects of consequences on behavior (p.34). Similarities When reading about each type of conditioning, similarities can be identified.
