B.F. Skinner
Believed psychologists should only study measurable,
observable behavior

reinforcement= anything that, when following a response, increase the probability that the response will occur again.

Behavior Modification ( use the operant conditioning techniques to bring about desired changes in behavior)
-
Time-out: misbehaving animal, child, or adult is placed in a special area away from the attention of others
-
applied behavior analyze ( ABA) = modern term form of behavior modification that uses shaping techniques to mold a desired behavior or response.
Reinforcement Schedules
-
Partial reinforcement = reinforcement of some,
but not all, correct responses
-
-
Shaping (reinforcement of simple steps,
leading to a desired complex behavior)
Successive approximations = small steps, one after
another, that lead to a particular goal behavior
-
-
fixed interval schedule of reinforcement ( schedule of reinforcement in which the interval of time that must pass before reinforcement becomes possible is always the same)
-
-
maturation
changes like increase in height or size of the brain, or any other kinds of changes due to the biology, not experience.
biological preparedness
referring to the tendency of animals to learn certain associations, such as taste to nausea, with only one or few pairings due to the survival value of the learning
