Document Summary

Todays agenda: operant conditioning, skinner, application: gaining self-control, observational learning, bandura, application: media violence. Used with children as we cannot use secondary with them (ex rewarding a cookie) Secondary reinforces: as soon as we learn what things can provide us, conditioned reinforcement. Money provides us to go out with friends for lunch etc. The response followed by rewarding stimulus (ex kid waits patiently for parent to do grocery, so parent gives chocolate. Behaviour is then narrowed down to a specific clear expectation kid will now most likely be persistent with this calm/patient behaviour: negative reinforcement. The response is followed by removal of an aversive stimulus (good behaviour allows you to get out of room from detention out of isolation) (elimination of curfews) Eg avoiding fearful; object/decrease anxiety (dropping course to avoid presentation) not right sacrifice when you are doing an action based on fear.
