Negative reinforcement
4 schedules of reinforcement
Fixed ratio
Variable ratio
Fixed interval
Variable interval

Fixed ratio
Has no specific amount of response before reward
Variable ratio
Has a fixed time before reward
Fixed interval
Example of fixed interval
Salary
Example of variable interval

Developed social cognitive theory
Albert Bandura
Learning from experiences of others; using models
Vicarious learning
4 processes in observational learning
Attention
Representation
Behavioural reproduction
Motivation
Give attention on what you want to learn

Developed 4 stages of cognitive development
Jean Piaget

Schema
Having a new schema; gaining new knowledge
Assimilation
Modifying schema and assimilation
Accomodation
Stages of cognitive development
Sensorimotor (0-2)
Preoperational stage (2-7)
Concrete operational (7-11)
Formal operational (11 and up)
3 substages of sensorimotor stage
Decentration
Intentionality
Object permanence
Babies feel like them & their bodies are separate
Decentration
Babies get to know their body parts
Intentionality
Child learns that the object still exists even though it’s not in front of them
Object permanence

Centration
Classification
Egocentrism
Child learns to concentrate
Centration
Child is able to classify
Classification
Children are self-centered
Egocentrism
3 substages of concrete operational
Seration
Reasoning

Seration
Logical reasoning; abstract reasoning
Reasoning
Know what’s right or wrong; fictional & non-fictional
Concrete reality

Developed bioecological theory
Urie Brofenbrenner
5 systems in bioecological theory

Mesosystem
Exosystem
Macrosystem
Chronosystem
Primary relationship; direct relationship
Microsystem
Relationship between people involved in primary relationship (microsystem)
Mesosysytem
Relationship of people in mesosytem without direct contact to you
Exosystem
Consists of religion, culture, beliefs, values etc.
