Unit 28 Learning Targets
Discuss ways to apply operant conditioning principles.
At School:
Students immediately knowing whether what they are doing is right or wrong and then being directed to the next step.
Example
: Online adaptive quizzes. Students move through their own pace based on their level of understanding and get immediate feedback.
In Sports:
Reinforcing small successes then gradually increasing the challenge.
Example:
New golfers may first learn by starting with short putts. As they get better, they step back farther and farther.
At work:
Reinforcing a job done well with rewards. The desired behavior must be achievable
Example:
A manager walking by and affirming employees for good work or writing notes of appreciation for a completed project.
In Parenting:
For Self-Improvement:
To Manage Stress:
Learn techniques from previous efforts to control a particular physiological response
Example:
Physical activities such as exercise and meditation are known to help keep stress levels under control.
Reinforce your own desired behaviors.
Example:
You can do this by making a realistic goal and rewarding yourself every time you complete that goal. You gradually reduce the rewards as it becomes more habitual.
Giving kids attention and other reinforcements for good behavior.
Example:
Rewarding a kid with a snack or encouragement when they do something good like saying please or helping out.
Identify characteristics that distinguish operant conditioning from classical conditioning.
Operant Conditioning
Learning associations between our behavior and it's consequences.
Example:
The kid would receive a sticker every time they helped out in class.
Classical Conditioning
Learning associations between events we
don't
control.
Examples:
Every time the bell rang, the dog would be given a treat. When the bell rang and the dog wasn't given a treat, the dog was salivating.
When our phones vibrate or ring, we normally expect a call or a text.
