Operant conditioning
Application of reinforcement on a particular schedule to influence the probability that a
response will occur again under similar stimulus conditions
Reinforce the positive behavior in order to repeat that behavior
four types of operant conditioning
Positive stimulus triggers a positive response
Negative - avoidance or escaping an unpleasant stimulus
Non-reinforcement: no application of a stimulus: ignoring a temper tantrum
Punishment: responses from the environment that DECREASE the likelihood that a
behavior will be repeated
To increase a response
Positive reinforcement - provides a pleasant stimulus or a reward after a good behavior
is made.
Negative reinforcement - removing an unpleasant stimilus
To decrease a response
Nonreinforcement - ignore behavior
Punishment - stimulus after behavior; but last resort when other methods have not
worked
