Document Summary
Schedules of reinforcement: continuous reinforcement - reinforced every time, intermittent reinforcement - not reinforced every time. Partial reinforcement : ratio schedules, fixed ratio - every x times, variable ratio - every x times, on average, interval schedules, fixed interval - every x seconds, variable interval - every x seconds, on average. Different schedules of reinforcement produce different types of responses: ratio is more effective because individual can affect the response. Interval is outside of individual"s control: when continuous or partial reinforcement disappears, behavior for continuous reinforcement disappears more quickly than partial reinforcement. Shaping: reinforcing behaviors leading up to a more complex behavior, e. g. , bf skinner pigeon turn. Other principles: generalization - responding to similar stimuli after operant conditioning (e. g. , The rats had learned, but just did not demonstrate their learning: observational learning, learning by watching others , if learning only occurred by trial and error, could be very dangerous, e. g.
