Operant conditioning: reinforcement, punishment and shaping
Cards in this deck (14)
- 1Operant ConditioningConsequences= Term used BF Skinner, Effects of a consequence of a particular behaviour and future occurrences of that behaviour
- 2What is instrumental conditioningBy Thorndike- Behaviour that is followed by satisfaction is strengthened, behaviour that is unsatisfied is weakened
- 3Operant ConditioningSkinner- Reinforcement- increases behaviour, Punishment- Decreases behaviour
- 4Continuous Reinforcement or PunishmentWhen punishment/reinforcement occurs at every instance of behaviour
- 5Partial punishment or reinforcementpunishment/reinforcement provided at some instances of behaviour. Divided into ratio (Frequency- variable or fixed)and interval (Time, variable or fixed)
- 6What is discriminationResponse does not increase in the presence of a stimulus that resembels the original discriminative stimulus
- 7ShapingPositive reinforcement for successive approximations of a particular behaviour that is targeted (Useful for teaching improbable behaviours in animals-
- 8ChainingPositive reinforcement for particular steps for a sequence of behaviour (complex behaviour such as driving)
- 9DestinctionGradual reduction in the frequency of response that is no longer followed by a reinforcer. The more unpredictable the reinforcement less resistant to destinction- gambling
- 10Spontaneous recoveryAfter no reinforcement could either become distinct or play again after a certain period of time
- 11What is the Behaviourist perspective on behaviourBehaviour is overt, observable and measurable
- 12ABC of learningSkinner developed model that consist of the Antecedent, behaviour and consequence and determined that behaviour is influenced by altering either the antecedent or the consequence
- 13What is token economy?It is representing it with token for a particular service or behaviour that can be exchanged for desired items or privileges (Socially desirable behaviour)
- 14What four processes needs to be in place for observational learning to occurAttention, Retention, Reproduction and reinforcer (Motivation)
