There are two types of consequences associated with this conditioning: reinforcement‚ which increases the likelihood of repetitive behaviour

Operant Conditioning The following paper will examine the concept of learning as well as how this concept of learning is related to cognition. Through this examination there will be a description of the theory of operant conditioning‚ a comparison and contrasting view of positive and negative reinforcement‚ and a determination of which type of reinforcement is most effective. Following this determination there will be a given scenario where the application of operant conditioning shapes behavior
