operant conditioning Flashcards
define positive reinforcement
receiving a reward for desired behaviour
define negative reinforcement
removing a negative stimuli when desired behaviour is shown
positiv punishment
receiving negative stimuliert when undesired stimuli is shown
negativ punishment
removing positiv stimuli when undesired behaviour is shown
primary reinforcers
basic need like food warmth or happiness
secondly reinforcer
can be collected the traded in for a primary reinforcer
token economy
given tokens for good behaviour and taken away for bad then traided in for primary reinforcers
continuas renforcement program
each behaviour gets a consequence
fixed interval reinforcement program
rewards every fixed amount of time if good behaviour is shown
variable interval renforcement program
reward every variable amount of time
fixed ratio renforcement program
a reward or punishment is given after behaviour is shown a fixed amount of times
variable ratio renforcement program
reward is given after the behaviour is shown a undetermined/variable amount of times
credablilty of operant conditioning
shiners rats
-he showed that rats could be taught how to compleat a maze using a positive reinforcement and continues reinforcement program
deterministic of operant conditioning
it says we only behave in the way we a taught through rewards this means we our behaviour is entirely up to other people
Socially sensatvi
why is operant conditioning reductionist
it doesn’t take into account other ways we can learn such as classical conditioning
