• Reinforcement Theory
• Need - Deduction Theory

• Principles of Behaviour -1943.

• Hull used the term drive to refer to the state of tension
or arousal caused by biological or physiological needs.

• A drive creates an unpleasant state, a tension that

needs to be reduced.
• Need – Drive – Activity – Goal – Reduced drive.

• Every need has drive attached to it.

• B = D*H
 Educational Implication

• Focus on the satisfaction of a need.

• Provide teaching as per child’s need.
• Put clear objectives.
• Based on Thorndike and Pavlov’s work.

“The process whereby knowledge is

created through the transformation
of experience”
(Kolb, 1984).

 Kolb’s Learning Cycle

1. Concrete Experience (मत ू G अनभ

2. Abstract Conceptualization (अमत ू G अवधारणा)
3. Reflective Observation (Oचंतनशील अवलोकन)
4. Active Experimentation (स=>य <योग)

 Token Economy

• Token economy is a system in which targeted behaviours are

reinforced with tokens (secondary reinforcers) and later
exchanged for rewards (primary reinforcers).

• Teodoro Ayllon, Nathan Azrin and Leonard Krasner
