- 1Operant ConditioningInstrumental
Punishment/rewards - 2Law of effectResponses to a situation followed by satisfaction are strengthened
Followed by discomforted are weakened - 3Positive ReinforcmentPresentation of something pleasant after the behaviour
(increase in intensity or appearance of stimulus) - 4Negative ReinforcementDecrease/removal of a stimulus
(push a lever to stop a shock) - 5Positive PunishmentBehaviour results in something being added
(shock) - 6Negative PunishmentBehaviour results in something being subtracted from the situation
- 7ShapingSimilar to Acquisition
One step at a time
Building a behaviour by dividing it into small steps - 8ExtinctionWeakening of a response due to response no longer being followed by reinforcement
- 9Stimulus ControlDiscriminative stimulus, provides info that allows to respond appropriately to different stimuli
(joke you tell a priest vs. best friend) - 10Generalizationtendency to respond to a new stimulus as if it is the original discriminative stimulus
(dog is excited hearing neighbours car) - 11Discriminationtendency for a response to happen only when a particular stimulus is present
(dog excited hearing you car) - 12Schedules of reinforcementcontinuous reinforcement: response is reinforced every time it occurs
intermittent reinforcement: reinforcement occurs on some occasions but not others - 13Fixed Ratio (FR) fixed interval (FI)FR: Reinforcement every 5th response
FI: Response reinforced the first time it occurs after a specified interval
e.g., every 5 minutes - 14variable ratio (VR) variable interval (VI)VR: number of responses required for reinforcement varies around an average
( every 5th response)
VI: Length of the interval
(every 5 mins) - 15Applications of OCAnimal care/training
