Operant condition - more complicated form of learning, behavior --> consequence, behavior: antecedent conditions, operant conditioning, relationship between response and outcome, operates on environment. If child is running around crazy in grocery store, spanking = aversive stimulus. If there is no avoidance there is escape: omission, behavior causes appetitive stimulus to disappear/not be delivered, and future behavior is less likely to happen/decreased/weakened (omission, time out, oc methods. Free operant boxes - putting rats in testing boxes, pioneered by skinner. Machine controlled or compute controlled, trials end once experiement ends/reinforcing is complete. Intervals: fairly robust responding: other schedules (not main, fixed/variable time schedule, no response required after a fixed or varied specified time, limited hold, when reinforcer (rft) is available for a set time on top of a fixed interval. Schedule: limited time ads on the tv (3) differential reinforcement of high rates (drh) schedule (fixed ratio but in a certain period of time, reinforces rate of responding, diff.
