Bell = conditioned stimulus
Salivation = conditioned response- learnt
Describe operant conditioning.
Learning from consequences of our behaviour.
Positive or negative reinforcement to repeat or avoid behaviour.
Describe social learning theory and when it is more likely to take place.
Learning by observation and imitation of others.
More likely if observed person is: rewarded, higher status, similar to us, friendly
What are the 5 stages of change in the transtheoretical model?
Precontemplation Contemplation Preparation Action Maintenance
How does the transtheoretical model view relapse?
Normalised
Expected to relapse several times and repeat cycle before behaviour permanent.
Exploring relapse increases chance of future success.

Information- education, promotion
Behavioural skills and programmes
Incentives
