Objectives SWBAT describe the basic principles of Operant Conditioning
SWBAT explain the differences between Operant and Classical Conditioning SWBAT explain the different schedules of reinforcement
4
Operant Conditioning Operant Conditioning- conditioning (learning) that results from the individual’s actions and consequences they cause
5
Classical Conditioning
Classical vs. Operant Classical Conditioning Operant Conditioning Learning takes place without any choice Ex. Someone shoving gross food in your mouth Learning takes place as a result of your own actions Ex. Trying out different foods to find the one you like
6
Reinforcement Reinforcement- something that follows a response and strengthens the tendency to repeat that action. Can be positive or negative.
7
Primary Reinforcement
Something necessary for survival that is used as a reward.
8
Secondary Reinforcement
Anything that comes to represent a primary reinforcer, such as money. In other words, we make ourselves think we cannot live without money as a reward
9
Shaping Shaping- The Process of gradually refining a response by reinforcing closer attempts at it. Ex. Learning a dance
10
Variable Ratio Variable Ratio- reinforcement occurs after a desired act is performed a specific but differing number times Ex. Slot Machines/Gambling
11
Fixed Ratio Fixed Ratio- reinforcement after a desired act is performed a set amount of times Ex. Perfect attendence
12
Variable Interval Variable Interval- Reinforcement given after a non-specific amount of time Ex. Having the winning lottery ticket
13
Fixed Interval Fixed Interval- reinforcement given after a set amount of time. Ex. Weekly Paycheck
14
Vocabulary Words Stimulus Generalization- Response occurs to stimuli that are similar to the stimuli Extinction- Occurs if behavior response is no longer enforced. Spontaneous Recovery- eventually the CS will reappear after extinction
15
Exit Slip Describe the difference between Operant and Classical Conditioning. Give an example of Negative Reinforcement What is Shaping?
