Operant Conditioning Operant conditioning It is all about behavioral patterns occurring because of consequences. Things become more or less likely to occur as a result of good or bad consequences. Studied since the beginning of the 20th century, but obviously punishing and rewarding has been around for a long time. B.F. Skinner The study of operant conditioning was started by Edward Thorndike with his cat puzzle Thorndike: “Stamp in” or “stamp out” behavior. Skinner expanded on these ideas and became the key name associated with behaviorist training through rewards and punishments. Discuss rat in a Skinner box Three types of Consequences: A response (operant) can lead to three types of consequences: 1.A neutral consequence Neither increases nor decreases the likelihood of that same action happening in the future. 2.Reinforcement Strengthens the possibility of a repeat of that action. Punishment Weakens the response and makes it less likely to recur. Positive & Negative reinforcers & punishment *Don’t think in terms of good & bad with this. It is referring to something being given or taken away. Positive reinforcement Begging dog given lamb chop Negative reinforcement- Removal of something unpleasant: stopping nagging.
