Learn the basic principles and procedures of operant conditioning.
Explain how the idea of consequences lies at the heart of reinforcement and punishment.
Understand the four basic schedules of reinforcement, how they are measured, and how they explain
much behavior in humans and other animals.

Applying Skinner’s Principles
• Read how the United States’ military used
operant conditioning to train dolphins to find
underwater mines after the Iraqi war on page
221 of the text.
• On the next slides describe how you would
train an animal to do something using operant
conditioning.
• Follow the steps on pg 217. Be very specific
and use the terminology you have learned.
Add a Title
• Overview of your operant conditioning experiment. What are
you attempting to train your animal to do? How will your
experiment proceed? You may write this part after you have
worked out the details of your experiment.
