ABSTRACT
Classical-instrumental interactions' used to refer to a specific set of issues that arise from attempting to understand the behaviour of an animal exposed to both classical and instrumental conditioning procedure. The terms, 'instrumental' and 'classical' are used in this chapter introduced by Jerzy Konorski and Miller, 'Type I' and 'Type II', and are used to refer presumed conditioning processes. The converse possibility is one in which an instrumental procedure is in effect, whereby reinforcement depends on an animal's responses, but the resulting change in behaviour is based on Type I processes alone. This chapter emphasis that many of the puzzles in this area have arisen because the possibility, and the potential complexity, of behavioural interactions has received insufficient attention. It explores that in the case of aversive-attraction interactions, the involvement of interactions of a motivational kind is well supported by certain evidence, despite the clear importance of response factors.
