Case Study: Conditioning Aggressiveness Teacher leads discussion of assignment, goes through correct answers.

Operant Conditioning Types of reinforcement Positive: Reward for repeating desired behavior Negative: Removal of a painful or unpleasant stimulus Which type of reinforcement is STAMPS?

Operant Conditioning Which type of reinforcement is STAMPS? Types of reinforcement Primary: Satisfies a biological need (hunger, thirst, sleep…) Secondary: Reinforcement that has acquired value through pairing with a primary reinforcer (money, fame, poker chips…) Which type of reinforcement is STAMPS?

Operant Conditioning Schedules of reinforcement Fixed interval Variable interval Fixed ratio Variable ratio Which type of reinforcement is STAMPS? Video: http://www.cengage.com/psychology/discipline_content/clipsforclass/behavior.html Continuous schedule of reinforcement = reinforced every time Partial schedule = intermittent reinforcement Partial = much stable and longer lasting Schedules of partial reinforcement based on number of correct response (ratio schedule) or amount of time (interval schedule) Fixed interval – ex: studying for weekly quizzes right before but not after Variable interval – ex: keep dialing when get a busy signal Fixed ratio – ex: reward every 5th response; dentist gets paid for filling every cavity Variable ratio – ex: slot machines

Classical Conditioning vs. Operant Conditioning Always a specified stimulus (US) that elicits the desired response No identifiable stimulus; learner must first respond, then behavior is reinforced US does not depend upon learner’s response Reinforcement depends upon learner’s behavior Environment elicits response from learner Learner actively operates on its environment

Shaping & Chaining Shaping: A technique that is used in operant conditioning in which the behavior is modified by stepwise reinforcement of behaviors that produce progressively closer approximations of the desired behavior Chaining: The learning of a sequence of responses through shaping.
