File name | Operant Psychology |
File Description | BF Skinner coined the term operant conditioning. It means roughly changing of behavior by the use of reinforcement which is given after the desired response. Skinner identified three types of responses or operant that can follow behaviour. Reinforcement is a stimulus which follows and is contingent upon a behaviour and increases the probability of a behaviour being repeated. Positive reinforcement can increase the probability of not only desirable behaviour but also undesirable behaviour. For example, if a child whines in order to get attention and is successful in getting it, the attention serves as positive reinforcement which increases the likelihood that the student will continue to whine. |
