Operant Conditioning Operant Conditioning was invented by B.F. Skinner. This was based on positive and negative reinforcement of conditioning and punishment. Operant conditioning is a rise and decrease in response behaviour in relation to different types of reward and punishment systems. Skinner showed how positive reinforcement worked by putting a hungry rat in his Skinner box. The box contained a lever on the side and as the rat moved about the box it would accidentally knock the lever‚ a food

that occur close in time. When an organism learns to make associations‚ it is being conditioned. There are two types of conditioning. Operant conditioning is when an organism associates an action and the consequence of that action. It results in the organism adapting its behavior to maximize rewards and minimize punishment (Skinner). On the other hand‚ classical conditioning is a type of learning where an organism associates a certain stimulus and the response to it with a different stimulus.

experiences (Ricker‚ 2013). Learning can be achieved in a variety of approaches‚ classical‚ and operant conditioning as well as positive reinforcement. The classical and operant conditioning methods were derived by B. F. Skinner and Ivan Pavlov. Kowalski and Westen (2011) noted‚ “Classical conditioning as learning in which an environmental stimulus produces a response in an organism” (p. 164). Operant conditioning is “learning that results when an individual associates a response that occurs spontaneously

theory of operant conditioning. B. F. skinner‚(March 20‚ 1904 – August 18‚ 1990) is an American psychologist who believed that we do have such a thing as a mind‚ but that it is simply more productive to study observable behavior rather than internal mental events. As Skinner’s theory was based on the earlier work of Thorndike‚ he also believed that the best way to understand a behavior is to look at the causes of the action and its consequences. He called this approach operant conditioning

one person may think is the best way to teach may not be the same as another and that is okay. Learning psychology went over a few different techniques of how a person learns new information. One that stuck with me the most is Operant conditioning. Operant conditioning uses positive and negative reinforcement and punishment. From what I have seen and experienced growing up the use of reinforcement is very helpful in teaching someone. The use of the reinforcement will get a student to want to
