Thoughts on Operant
conditioning
- It is a method of learning which is
utilized by individuals voluntarily and even involuntarily at
times. This is largely because this method can be so intuitive at
times.
- In this method, an association is
made between a behavior and the associated consequence or
reward
- The behaviors which have positive
consequences are more likely to be repeated when compared to other
behaviors which might have negative consequences. This is the basic
phenomena through which the learning takes place in the case of
operant conditioning.
- The responses which are likely to
increase the probability of the repitition of a behavior are known
as reinforcers.
- The responses which are likely to
decrease the probability of the repetition of a behavior are known
as punishers.
