  1. Operant Conditioning

  2. Introduction • Respondent behavior • Operant conditioning • Operant behavior

  3. Skinner’s Experiments • Edward Thorndike’s Law of Effect • B.F. Skinner • Behavioral technology • Behavior control

  4. Skinner’s Experiments • Operant Chamber (Skinner Box)

  5. Skinner’s ExperimentsShaping Behavior • Shaping • Successive approximations • Discriminative stimulus

  6. Skinner’s ExperimentsTypes of Reinforcers • Reinforcer • Positive reinforcement • Negative reinforcement

  7. Skinner’s ExperimentsTypes of Reinforcers • Reinforcer • Positive reinforcement • Negative reinforcement

  8. Skinner’s ExperimentsTypes of Reinforcers • Primary reinforcer • Conditioned reinforcer • Secondary reinforcer • Immediate vs delayed reinforcers

  9. Skinner’s ExperimentsReinforcement Schedules • Continuous reinforcement • Partial (intermittent) reinforcement • Schedules • Fixed-ratio schedule • Variable-ratio schedule • Fixed-interval schedule • Variable-interval schedule

  29. Skinner’s ExperimentsPunishment

  30. Skinner’s ExperimentsPunishment • Negatives of using punishment • Punished behavior is suppressed not forgotten • Punishment teaches discrimination • Punishment can teach fear • Physical punishment may increase aggression

  31. Extending Skinner’s UnderstandingCognition and Operant Conditioning • Latent learning • Cognitive map • Insight learning • Intrinsic motivation • Extrinsic motivation

  32. Extending Skinner’s UnderstandingBiological Predispositions • Biological constraints predispose organisms to learn associations that are naturally adaptive

  33. Skinner’s LegacyApplications of Operant Conditioning • At school • In sports • At home • For self- improvement
