Document Summary
July 28, 2016: there are 4 ways to modify behavior using operant conditioning. Positive reinforcement give something to increase a behavior. + fixed ratio c after the same number of r. + fixed interval c after the same amount f time. (more secure way to live) + variable ratio - c after an unknown number of r. + variable interval c after an unknown amount of time. In addition to classical conditioning and operant conditioning, cognitive learning also impacts the learning of intelligent organisms, in cognitive learning, we are motivated by the need to. Cognitive learning: the goal is not to just get the reward, it"s also for solving the problem (rewarded on our own by solving the problem). There is a step between s and r, that"s where cognition occurs. Contemporary conditioning technique: we don"t necessary need a physical tangible reward at the end. Bandura social learning theory: look at social modeling.
