REINFORCEMENT THEORY Reinforcement Theory Vs Association Theory REINFORCEMENT THEORY CONCENTRATES TO CONSEQUENCES BASED ON THE SUCCEEDING CONSEQUENCES ASSOCIATION

THEORY FOCUS ON THE STIMULATE BEHAVIOR BASED ON THE ANTECEDENTS OF OR PRECEDING BEHAVIOR

Operant Vs. Classical CLASSICAL CONDITIONED STIMULUS IS LINKED UNCONDITIONED STIMULUS TO UNCONDITIONED RESPONSE STIMULUS ORIENTED LEARNING IS THROUGH STIMULUS SUBSTITUTION RESPONSE IS ELICITED REINFORCEMENT COMES BEFORE THE ACT RESPONSE IS INVOLUNTARY ASSOCIATION BETWEEN STIMULUS AND RESPONSE IS ON THE BASIS OF LAW OF CONTIGUITY WITH THE PRODUCE OPERANT RESPONSE IS LINKED WITH REINFORCEMENT

RESPONSE ORIENTED LEARNIN IS THROUGH RESPONSE MODIFICATION RESPONSE IS EMITTED REINFORCEMENT COMES AFTER THE ACT RESPONSE IS VOLUNTARY ASSOCIATION IS BETWEEN SR AND OPERATES ON THE BASIS OF LAW OF EFFECT

EDWARD LEE THORNDIKE 1. 2. 3. 4. BORN IN WILLIAMSBURG, MASSACHUSETTS AMERICAN PSYCHOLOGIST FORMULATED THE BASIC LAW OF OPERANT LEARNING CONNECTION

REINFORCEMENT THEORY REINFORCEMENT Reinforcement is commonly viewed as a reward. Reinforcement is consequence used to strengthen the performance of a desired behavior. Reinforcement is of two types: positive and negative PUNISHMENT Punishment is used to decrease the performance of a behavior while reinforcement is used to increase the performance of such behavior. Punishment is of two types: positive and negative. Laws that govern important aspects of behavior (Thorndike) LAW OF EFFECT states that if a responses followed by a satisfying state of affairs, it tends to be repeated. If a response is followed by an annoying state of affairs, it tends not to be repeated. LAW OF EXERCISE this law maintains the idea that the connection between a stimulus and a response is strengthened by being exercised frequently, recently, and vigorously. LAW OF READINESS this law emphasizes the role of motivation. It develop an association or to exhibit a previously established habit.

OPERANT CONDITIONING Attributed by Burrhus Frederick Skinner (B.F. Skinner) American Psychologist Science of behavior Concequences are referred to be as reinforcers and punishers.

Operant is any response produced by an organism which in turn produces consequences in the environment.
