Description

"“Stimulus-stimulus pairing” is often used interchangeably with “classical conditioning.” But the first term simply describes what the trainer does, while the other implies an intended effect of the procedure. Leaving aside the trainer’s intentions and looking with clear eyes at what actually happens when we arrange for one stimulus to predict another can open the door to some effective and creative teaching and problem-solving approaches. In this presentation, Kiki will review some behavioral literature and share some experiences to provoke deeper thought about how what happens before, after, or smack dab in the middle of the pairing —in the “gap” between stimuli— can make pairing procedures more effective and lead to client-friendly shortcuts for teaching operant behavior."
