principles are reinforcers and reinforcement, both of these are crucial to ABA. Reinforcement is “the planned presentation of positive reinforcers, or removal of aversive stimuli, as a function of a given response, for the explicit purpose of increasing the future rate of that response under similar circumstances” (Mayer, Sulzer-Azaroff & Wallace, 2014). The Token Economy assignment completed in course SPE 565: Behavior Change System is a great demonstration of reinforcement. This assignment…

definition. Behavior performed by each individual will differ from one another. Understanding of human behavior in general is nearly impossible, we can merely make assumptions based on conducted experiments. Operant conditioning is entirely based on reinforcement, meaning a process that strengthens certain, voluntary, behavior. Our actions or reactions on the environment and the consequences of those actions make up a very important part of the learning process. Operant conditioning is largely…
