Operant conditioning chamber

Operant conditioning is a learned association between a behavior and a consequence, more clearly, the behavior is strengthened if followed by a reinforcement and diminished if the behavior is followed by a punishment. If my roommate’s behavior is every single morning…

When you are talking about psychology and illusions, there is no way the Muller-Lyer Illusion is not mentioned. The Müller-Lyer illusion in a nut shell is an optical illusion made up of two stylized arrows. When participants partake in this experiment, they are asked to place a mark on the figure at the midpoint, in which they regularly place it more towards the "tail" end. The illusion was developed by renowned German sociologist, Franz Carl Müller-Lyer (1857–1916), a German sociologist, in…

SuperDog The day started like normal in the city of Maine, I got my food, affection, and my mission from Super Animal Co. This time it was Mr. Rat. (My Main Nemesis) He decided it was a good idea to release his henchmen, disguised as mailmen, to start fires all over the state. I flew over the city until I reached Mr. Rats underground lab. I crawled up the long and narrow pipe hoping not to be caught. Once I got down, I snuck back behind the large computer program Mr. Rat owned and called…

Kangaroo Rat By: Mario-Zedekiah T. Rodriguez (Woo, okay as you heard I have to make a quick whip up of something so here you go.) You probably don’t know much about the kangaroo rat, I didn’t either until I was forc-determined to write all about the kangaroo rat. You still know nothing but that is why I am here. So starting off I will talk about how interesting the diet of a kangaroo rat is because I have no more original ideas. THen you can read if you want the home, because that is so…

My sister has trained a few strayed cats to come to the porch. She has given positive reinforcement by giving them food every time they come to the porch. We can say that she has done operant conditioning by training the cats to come on the porch and letting her pet them, where the cat food and treats are the positive reinforcement. By giving a few strayed cats, food as a reward she has caused others stray cats to start coming in hope that they too will receive food. The cats have associated…

previously reinforced response. In classical conditioning extinction occurs when there are repeated presentation of the CS without the US. In instrumental conditioning, the presentation of a reinforcer when the response occurs is stopped, causing a decrease in conditioned responding. Extinction occurs when an expected US, or reinforcer, is omitted therefore the decrease in conditioned responding is due to new learning and is not due to forgetting. In operant conditioning behavior is reinforced…

The part of the dummy half pass I am doing is the preparation. The aim of this document is to show you how to evaluate the authors touch acting half long pass skill and seeing how to improve the pass and discuss about applying the most relevant biomechanical principals The main phase of the pass that was focused on the most was the preparation phase. Which this phase consists of the following actions made by the acting half  Outside foot is placed near the ball  Base of support is wide and…

everyday for class because I know I will get the five bonus points if I do not miss this class. However, if I do miss class more than three times I will not receive the five bonus points on the test. Positive reinforcement is a principle of operant conditioning that I have used to train my dogs. I have a border collie that my mom and I have trained to be a Therapy Dog. When she was just beginning she knew the simple commands “sit,” “down” and “stay.” However, with the training…

There are four different types of operant responses; positive reinforcement, negative reinforcement, positive punishment, and negative punishment. There are also, four schedules of partial reinforcement; fixed ratio, variable ratio, variable interval, and fixed interval. “Positive reinforcement is the addition of a reward following a desired behavior with the purpose of increasing the likelihood the behavior will occur again.” Positive reinforcement is rewarding someone for something even if…

Operation conditioning helps us to explain the voluntary behaviour. This type of learning can be used to change the behaviour of pets, children, and adults. According to Huitt and Hummel, the theorists of operant conditioning are Edward Thorndike, John Watson, and B. F. Skinner. They proposed that learning is the result of the application of consequences; that is, learners begin to connect certain responses to certain stimuli. Thorndike labelled this type of learning instrumental by using…
