It's such a shame this channel doesn't have hundreds of thousands of subscribers.

I like how episodes 1 & 2 are focused on Operant and Classical conditioning. Not enough trainers are well versed in these cornerstone theories. Listening to the Professor reminded me of when I was in school. The language used, (signaled reward, signaled non-reward, etc) was just like I remember from college. My problem is the true meat of Pavlov's work went undiscussed. I'm not surprised by this due to Pavlov's work being mistranslated into english. The mistakes in translation significantly change the understanding of the theory. Simply put, Classical Conditioning creates reflex behaviors, and associations in the limbic system of the brain. Not "learned associations", but reflex responses. The limbic system is engaged before the frontal cortex is involved, so conditioned behaviors are faster, and more durable due to the reflexive nature of conditioning. So we see the Operant (positive reinforcement) crowd needing to bend themselves into pretzels to explain their training in Operant terms, but can be easily (and elegantly) explained via Classical Conditioning. Case in point - Why do clickers work so well? It's not a "bridge" to reward; it's not a secondary (or tertiary) reinforcer. Once conditioned, the mark (click, verbal, etc) creates a reflex response in the limbic system that is associated with the rewards used in training. The brain responds to the click with the same flood of hormones as to a treat/toy/praise/petting. In short, the conditioned mark becomes a reinforcer in itself. The mark is a primary reinforcer. Understanding this small fact revolutionized my training.
How long does the reflex persist in the absence of the reward?
Thank you, Sir🙏👍
So True.
Thank you for the great and interesting podcasts! Also, Dr. Plonsky's articles are very helpful too!
Great listen Ivan , looking forward to the next one. 👍🏻
Thanks for listening
Superb Podcast
Thank you
Great conversation
thank you!
Loved listening to this! My hero in animal behavior is the wonderful Bob Bailey, I did 4 levels of chicken camp work shops. You actually have to figure out the principals of learning behavior because you can't force a chicken to do anything!
Glad you enjoyed!
@@IvanBalabanov any serious dog trainer should learn the science behind operant/classical conditioning. I'm amazed at the science of extinction and extinction bursts(it gets worse before it gets better) just before a behavior disappears, amazing stuff!
Purely positive is what's wrong with youth in this country. Kids as well as dogs need to know there is a 180 degree from the reward which happens to be punishment. The term in and of itself as the tools is what people can't comprehend. Maybe some stim of a collar or a shovel upside the head, people don't listen and have dialog, it's politics 101 and it's sad. I see with strong mals and other dogs thrive and are motivated with obedience with reward as well as correction. Too much of one and not the other creates issues that manifest over time. Allow the dog to be a dog and use his genetics and natural drives to do the things they were bred for.
Interesting stuff. I am currently going to school for dog training at Catch. One of the big things that they avoid is any punishment at all, but they do go over it. I have been in the fence about using it because I’m afraid of well fucking the dog up. Plus I know that it can cause worst problems. But I would be a fool to not try something myself and just listen to others just because they say so. Also as a new parent I know that punishment is very effect for children that get themselves into trouble. I’m a firm believer in spanking, my wife not so much. And just in the short time that I have been a daddy I notice that my child minds a lot more when daddy is around. And before ppl get on my butt about spanking my child. I’m not beating him it’s just a firm spank and slight discomfort so save your breath. Any ways I’d love to see you have a conversation with Dave Marello I believe is his name. He is the director of Catch Academy. Any ways good content and thank you for the Info! Much love from Texas!
glad you enjoyed it!
