Operant conditioning was a term used by Burrhus Frederic Skinner to describe the effects positive and negative consequences of a behavior have on the future occurrence of that behavior (Levine‚ 1999).

There are four types of operant conditioning‚ positive reinforcement

Premium Reinforcement Operant conditioning Experimental analysis of behavior
Operant Conditioning Skinner’s operant conditioning is a type of learning in which the person’s behavior becomes either more or less probable depending on the consequences it produces. The person or the learner is able to voluntarily control the choices of behavior. A learner will respond to the environment and then they make an association of the consequence of that response. The response will then likely or not likely occur again depending on the consequence of the response. The basic principle
Premium Reinforcement Operant conditioning
Classical conditioning forms associations between stimuli and involves respondent behavior‚ or the automatic responses to a stimulus. In operant conditioning‚ organisms associate their own actions with consequences. Action followed by reinforcers increase and those followed by punishers decrease. It uses operant behavior‚ or behavior that operates on the environment to produce rewarding or punishing stimuli. Operant conditioning involves operant behavior that actively operates on the environment
