Weight Loss Programs Evaluated
Psychology help!!!!!!?
I need to know whether these processes are instrumental or classical conditoning....
1) Obese children are targeted by setting goals for behaviour change and weight loss, teaching skills for weight loss, developong a support structure for weight loss, and reinforcing behaviour change and weight loss.
2) Obese children with and without obese parents are randomized to group that varied in teaching self-control - treatment designed to see whether parental obesity also inluenced the response to the treatment
3)Evaluating the incremental effects of adding physical activity to a standard diet program for obese children.
The key difference between classical and operant conditioning is the presence of a reinforcer- is the behaviour being rewarded or is it just being associated?
So #1 would be operant conditioning because they are reinforcing the behaviour change/weight loss. #2 and #3 are actually not conditioning at all. They are looking at experimental outcomes, but they have nothing to do with either classical or operant conditioning.
