    Liana Olag
    B.F. Skinner introduced the concept of operant conditioning, which examines how behavior is influenced by its consequences. He conducted experiments using animals in a Skinner Box, where behaviors could be rewarded or punished. Key aspects of operant conditioning include positive and negative reinforcement, which strengthen behaviors, as well as punishments, which weaken behaviors. Skinner's work demonstrated how consequences shape future behaviors and whether they increase or decrease over time.

    INTRODUCTION OF OPERANT CONDITIONING
    BY B.F SKINNER
    INTRODUCTION:
    • Defined by Skinner as behavior “controlled by its consequences”
    • BF Skinner: Operant Conditioning
    • According to this principle, behavior that is followed by pleasant consequences is likely
    to be repeated, and behavior followed by unpleasant consequences is less likely to be
    repeated.
    OPERANT CONDITIONING OR INSTRUMENTAL
    CONDITIONING LEARNING
    • Skinner (1948) studied operant conditioning by conducting experiments using animals
    which he placed in a ‘Skinner Box’
    • Operant Conditioning Chamber:
    OPERANT CONDITIONING CHAMBER/ SKINNER’S
    BOX

    • It is a device used to objectively record an animal’s behavior in a


    compressed time frame.
    • An animal can be rewarded or punished for engaging in certain behaviors,
    such as lever pressing (for rats)
    SKINNER’S EXPERIMENT
    SKINNER’S EXPERIMENT

    • Operant conditioning is when an animal is conditioned or is programmed to perform a


    certain action with the help of a stimulus.
    • This operant conditioning can be caused by a positive or negative stimulus.
    OPERANT CONDITIONING

    • Suggests that consequences play a major role in the shaping of future behaviors.
    • Consequences can either increase or decrease a particular behavior, depending on
    whether the result of the behavior is pleasant or unpleasant.
    REINFORCEMENT AND PUNISHMENTS

    • REINFORCEMENT
    • It serves to strengthen a behavior and can do this either by adding
    something pleasant or removing something unpleasant.
    • PUNISHMENTS
    • Weaken a behavior by adding something unpleasant or removing
    something pleasant.
    TWO (2) TYPES OF REINFORCEMENT:

    • POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT:
    • A response or behavior is strengthened by rewards.
    • Examples of this would be offering praise or a treat
    when a desired behavior is displayed.
    TWO (2) TYPES OF REINFORCEMENT

    • NEGATIVE REINFORCEMENT:
    • Occurs when something undesirable is removed
    whenever a behavior is displayed.
    INSTRUMENTAL CONDITIONING LEARNING
