NOT COMPLETE!!! THIS IS MISSING A COUPLE CHAPTERS Operant Conditioning- People and animals learn what to do, and what not to do, because of the results of what they do. They learn from the consequences. Classical Conditioning- One stimulus calls forth the response that is usually called forth by another stimulus. Reinforcement- the process by which a stimulus increases the chances that the preceding behaviour will occur again. Negative Reinforcement vs. Punishment- punishment does not teach a good behaviour, only what the bad behaviour is. negative reinforcement is unpleasant in ways such as discomfort, fear, or social disapproval Shaping- a way of teaching complex behaviours in which one first reinforces small steps in the right direction.

Juliet Critchlow Mr. Seymour AP Lit 9 May 2014 Research Paper: The Stranger While modern disorders cover a large variety of ailments, quite a few can apply to Meursault from Albert Camus? The Stranger. Key aspects of Meursault?s personality ? that would be a concern to society ? include that he is indifferent, amoral, and has difficulty giving and receiving empathy. In addition, Meursault has a particularly calm demeanor and enjoys his physical relationship with Marie. With these traits in mind, similarities and differences between Meursault and the symptoms of antisocial personality disorder (ASPD), major depressive disorder (MDD), and Asperger disorder, also known as Asperger syndrome can be analyzed.
