Operant condi6oning
Operant condi6oning
, Voluntary behaviors are learned through consequences, and behavioral
responses are elicited through reinforcement, which causes a behavior to occur
more frequently. Posi6ve reinforcement- geYng a giZ, or nega6ve
reinforcement- removal of objec6onable' or aversive s6mulus
Skinner
Absence of reinforcement, or ex6nc6on, also decreases behavior by
withholding a reward that has become habitual. Teachers employ this strategy
in the classroom when they ignore ac6ng-out behavior that had previously
been rewarded by more aGen6on.
Skinner's behavior model provides a concrete method for modifying or
replacing behaviors. Behavior management and modifica6on programs based
on his principles have shown to be successful in altering targeted behaviors.
Programmed learning and token economies represent extensions of skinner's
thoughts on learning. Behavioral methods are par6cularly effec6ve with
children, adolescents, and individuals with many forms of chronic mental
illness.
