Operant conditioning is a type of learning where behavior is controlled by consequences. The purpose is to strengthen the behavior and make it happen more often. There are different consequences you can use are positive reinforcement, negative reinforcement, positive punishment, and negative punishment. If you are trying to teach someone something the best way is to use positive reinforcement. Research shows that rewards are more effective than punishment. When using positive reinforcement, it…

famous for studying an associative type of learning known as conditioning. Exactly, what is conditioning? Conditioning is used by establishing connections between a stimulus and a response. Classical, also known as Pavlovian, is one type of conditioning. Classical conditioning is the process teaching connections…

very similar views on what would be a better method to get the desired behavioral results, which was positive reinforcement. Casey feels that the reinforcement ideas of B.F Skinners operant conditioning would be the best way to shape behavior, while Nicole said positive reinforcement and classical conditioning. Casey did not believe that spanking a child occasionally would cause any harm, when Nicole stated that every time ran a risk for damaging parent-child bonds. In terms of where they vary…

Behaviorists believe that language acquisition in children occurs through three methods simultaneously; imitation, operant conditioning and classical conditioning. All three of these methods rely on language being acquired as a way of gaining approval from adults due to the way that they communicate. In imitation, the simplest method, the adult or fellow child will say a word or phrase and the child will be asked to repeat what was said. If they do this, the adult will reward them with a…

work of many psychologists. The two most popular figures in this field are probably Ivan Pavlov and B. F. Skinner. Their theories, Classical and Operant conditioning are still used as part of therapies that have developed since their work has been published. Classical conditioning was developed by Ivan Pavlov in the 1950s. Classical conditioning is a type of behavior modification in which a conditioned stimulus and an unconditioned stimulus are paired in close succession so that they illicit…

The learning theory is a process primarily to a somewhat permanent behavior change or potential behavior change. Operant conditioning or instrumental conditioning is a form of associative learning in which the consequences of a behavior change the probability of the behavior’s occurrence. Keeping the above definitions in mind, I formed two operant conditioning techniques to establish a positive reinforcement for a child who was engaging in behaviors that was affecting others. As a psychologist,…

response or action, the process would be classical conditioning. Observational learning can also be latent learning, which is the person or animal didn’t realize they learned an idea until they use it later on in life. We must be careful of what we do or say because the activities we demonstrate may be repeated. Classical conditioning was accidental discovery by Ivan Pavlov, a Russian physiologist while studying the digestion of dogs. Classical conditioning can be described as a set of…

The theory behind Skinner’s empirical study was that individuals is subject to superstitious behavior, an act in which one establishes a conditioned behavioral response to a drive regardless of there being no apparent correlation between the behavior and the drive. To test his hypothesis, Skinner established an experiment with pigeons. The pigeons were famished and then put into a cage which had a food hopper attached to it. The food hopper was controlled by a clock, and would therefore give…

provoked by my injury due to classical conditioning (4). In terms of classical conditioning, exercising could be considered my unconditioned stimulus (4), which was previously attached to the unconditioned response (4) of happiness; however, the injury, which could be considered the conditioned stimulus (4) in this situation caused the previously enjoyable activity to become associated with anxiety, the conditioned response (4). Also, considering classical conditioning requires repetition,…

Project 2: Social Reinforcement Field Observation Coaching is a difficult job to take on. From having to teach unexperienced athletes a new sport or to dealing with know-it-all parents that just want their child to play every minute. To be a great coach there has to be some careful consideration into how they are going to deal with the children they are given. This coach in particular that was observed had a very outgoing personality. He was extremely talkative with every person that walked…
