PSYC100: Introduction to Psychology

Chapter 4 Pt 2: Behaviorism & Operant Conditioning

Learning:

● A process that produces a relatively enduring change in behavior or knowledge as a result

of an individual’s experience

● Conditioning: the process of learning associations between environmental events and

behavioral response. 2 types:

○ Classical Conditioning

○ Operant Conditioning

Operant Conditioning Includes:

● Thorndike

● Skinner

● Reinforcement: positive and negative

● Primary reinforcer

● Conditioned reinforcer

● Punishment (by application and by removal)

● Shaping

● Schedule of reinforcement

What is Operant Conditioning?

, ● Associating Behaviors and Consequences

● It is the learning of active, voluntary behaviors that are shaped and maintained by their

consequence

○ Thorndike: investigated animal behavior and how voluntary behavior are

influenced by their consequences

■ Placed hungry cats in “puzzle boxes” that allowed an escape through some

simple act

■ Through trial and error the cats learned to unlatch the puzzle box door and

escape

Law of Effect:

● Through Thorndike’s experiments, he formulated the Law of Effect

○ Responses followed by a “satisfying state of affairs” are strengthened and are

more likely to occur again in the same situation, whereas responses followed by

an unpleasant or “annoying state of affairs” are weakened a less likely to occur

■ Satisfying=strengthened=more likely to occur

■ Unsatisfying=weakened=less likely to occur

Operant Conditioning: Reinforcement:

● Operant — active behavior that operates upon the environment to generate consequences

○ Plain English: explains how we acquire the wide range of voluntary behaviors that

we perform in daily life
