event may be. Reinforcement and Punishment: Reinforcement increases the likelyhood of the behaviour repeating. Giving a dog a treat for coming in after going to the bathroom outside. Removing chores when a teenager obeys their curfew. Punishment decreased the likelyhood of the behaviour repeating. Giving a child time-out for hitting a kid in class. Continuous Versus Partial Reinforcement The behaviour could likely stop as well. Schedules of Reinforcement Giving reinforcement

The following study examines the theory of operant conditioning‚ positive and‚ negative reinforcements‚ effectiveness‚ a real-world application of operant conditioning‚ and an applicable reinforcement schedule. Theory of Operant Conditioning Operant conditioning is a form of learning that exists within the science of psychology and is one of two types of conditioning‚ the other‚ classical

unfavourable consequences involve reinforcement‚ extinction and punishment respectively. In operant conditioning‚ reinforcement refers to any process that strengthens a particular behavior—that is‚ increases the chances that the behavior will occur again. According to Skinner‚ reinforcement can occur in two ways‚ which is called positive and negative reinforcement.. Positive reinforcement occurs when a response is strengthened [increase in frequency].Positive reinforcement is roughly synonymously with

developed by Albert Bandura (1977). The behaviorist theory of Operant conditioning was based on Thorndike’s work‚ but Skinner took this further and introduced the term reinforcement into the theory. Skinner was the first to use the term “Operant conditioning’ which he used to refer to the changing of a behaviour by using reinforcement after the desired response. He was able to identify three types of responses which he called ‘operant’ that can follow a particular behaviour‚ He has sorted theses into

Classical and Operant Conditioning Classical conditioning is a basic form of learning in which one stimulus comes to serve as a signal for the occurrence of a second stimulus. During classical conditioning‚ organisms acquire information about the relations between various stimuli‚ not simple associations between them. (Psychology‚ pg.170). In classical condition a stimulus‚ or a physical event capable of affecting behavior‚ that initially doesn’t elicit a particular response can obtain the capacity

Reinforcement schedules differ in two ways: • What determines when reinforcement is delivered – the number of responses made (ratio) or the passage of time (interval) • The pattern of reinforcement – either constant (fixed) or changing (variable) Observational learning – • also known as modeling • was studied by Albert Bandura in formulating his

Tsai et al.‚ (2008) refer to three types of stimuli behind behaviour that are of concern. These are; 1. Reinforcement Reinforcement refers to the presence or removal of a stimulus‚ in other words‚ the consequences that occur after the behaviour and affect the future frequency or probability of that behaviour. 2. Discriminative stimuli This refers to the circumstances
