6.3). The law of effect by Edward Thorndike was the one who inspred B.F Skinner into oursuing the belief that learning is the result of consequence (Speilman, 2014, sect. 6.3).A good consequence would make a dog want to continue the behavior, while a bad consequence can make the dog discontinue the particular action. An example of this is when you tell a dog to sit and give him w treat when he completes the task. The dog associates the word with the action, and later expects the treat after he sits. An experiment of operant conditioning includes the “skinner box”, which contains a lever for rats or disk for pigeons. The lever or disk would dispense food after being pressed, then the amount of times the lever was pressed were recorded. This presents a positive reinforcement in operant conditioning (Speilman, 2014, sect.
