SKINNER^ A conditioned reflex is said to be conditioned in the sense of being dependent for its existence or state upon the occurrence of a certain kind of event, having to do with the presentation of a reinforcing stimulus. A definition that includes much more than this simple notion will probably not be applicable to all cases. At almost any significant level of analysis a distinction must be made between at least two major types of conditioned reflex. These may be repre- sented, with examples, in the following way (where S = stimulus, R=response, (8-R) = reflex, + = 9s followed by,” and [ ] - “the strength of” the inclosed reflex): TYPE I so - Ro - SI - Rl FOOD -SALWATION, EATING (A) LEVER - PRESSING II SHOCK- WITHDRAWAL, (BI I’ - EMOTIONAL CHANGE Given such a sequence, where [SI-RI] + 0,2 conditioning occurs as a change in [S040]-an increase in strength (positive condi- tioning) in (a) and a decrease (negative conditioning) in (b).
