Learning Operant Conditioning

Objectives To define the term operant conditioning and the four basic procedure used in this learning To explore the role of operant conditioning in daily life To apply the principles of operant conditioning

Operant conditioning is a type of learning where behavior is controlled by consequences.

Positive Reinforcement Positive reinforcement is giving something pleasant after a behavior. This increases the probability that the behavior will continue Examples are: Having a job and going to work every day to receive a paycheck. Receiving praise after a musical performance would increase the amount that you perform.

Negative Reinforcement Negative reinforcement is taking away something unpleasant as a result of the behavior that is acceptable. This is also meant to increase the behavior. Examples are: It is very noisy outside so you turn on the television to mask the noise. Turning on the radio decreased the unpleasant noise. A teacher exempts student from the final test if they have perfect attendance. So, the teacher is taking away something unpleasant to increase behavior.

Positive Punishment Positive punishment is used to decrease a behavior and is presenting something unpleasant after the behavior. Examples are: An employee exhibits bad behavior at work and the boss criticizes him. The behavior will decrease because of the boss’s criticism. When a student misbehaves in class, she receives a time out.

Negative Punishment Negative punishment is also used to decrease a behavior and is removing something pleasant after the behavior. Examples are: An employee is habitually late for work so begins losing the privilege of listening to music while working. The behavior will decrease because of losing a privilege. A child doesn’t put his bike away so the parents lock it up for a certain time. The parents took away something pleasant to decrease behavior.
