Skinner - Answer operant conditioning
Operant conditioning - Answer voluntary behaviors are learned through consequences,
and behavioral responses are elicited through reinforcement, which causes a behavior
to occur more frequently. Positive reinforcement- getting a gift, or negative
reinforcement- removal of objectionable' or aversive stimulus
Skinner - Answer Absence of reinforcement, or extinction, also decreases behavior by
withholding a reward that has become habitual. Teachers employ this strategy in the
classroom when they ignore acting-out behavior that had previously been rewarded by
more attention.
Skinner's behavior model provides a concrete method for modifying or replacing
behaviors. Behavior management and modification programs based on his principles
have shown to be successful in altering targeted behaviors. Programmed learning and
token economies represent extensions of Skinner's thoughts on learning. Behavioral
methods are particularly effective with children, adolescents, and individuals with many
forms of chronic mental illness.
