This document discusses operant conditioning, a theory of learning developed by B.F. Skinner. Operant conditioning is a method of learning through rewards and punishments for behaviors. Skinner demonstrated this using a Skinner box, where rats learned to press a lever for food rewards. Operant conditioning is used in daily life and classrooms, where behaviors are reinforced through rewards like praise or privileges to increase desired behaviors.
The document discusses operant conditioning, which is a theory of learning developed by B.F. Skinner. It states that operant conditioning occurs when behaviors are reinforced or punished, which then increases or decreases the likelihood of those behaviors reoccurring. Specifically, it discusses how Skinner used positive reinforcement by giving rats food for pressing a lever, and negative reinforcement by stopping an electric shock for rats when they pressed a lever. The document then provides examples of how positive reinforcement, negative reinforcement, and punishment can be applied to behaviors.
B.F. Skinner performed stimulus-response experiments with pigeons where he taught them behaviors through operant conditioning by rewarding them when they performed the desired action. Operant conditioning is a form of learning where behaviors are shaped through reinforcement of stimulus-response patterns. Skinner argued that both positive rewards and negative responses should be used to encourage desired behaviors and discourage undesired ones. His work formed the basis for behavior modification techniques and influenced how many teachers apply principles of reinforcement and punishment in educational settings.
B.F. Skinner was an influential psychologist known for introducing the concept of operant conditioning. After studying English literature, he became interested in psychology through the writings of Watson and Pavlov. Skinner developed operant conditioning techniques using a Skinner box, where rats learn behaviors like lever pressing through reward and punishment. He spent much of his career at Harvard University developing and expanding on these behaviorist ideas and techniques.
This document discusses operant conditioning and how it influences learning and behavior. It defines operant conditioning as a method of learning through reinforcement and punishment. Behaviors are strengthened when followed by positive reinforcement or escape from negative reinforcement, and weakened when followed by punishment. The document uses B.F. Skinner's experiments with rats in a Skinner Box as a classic example of how operant conditioning shapes behavior through variable schedules of reinforcement and punishment.
This document summarizes key aspects of behaviorism in psychology and education. It discusses how behaviorism views learning as occurring through conditioning and reinforcement rather than internal mental processes. Some of the major figures discussed are Ivan Pavlov, who discovered classical conditioning; B.F. Skinner, who studied operant conditioning; and Albert Bandura, who researched observational learning and self-efficacy. The document also provides examples of how behaviorist principles could be applied in classroom settings, such as through frequent objective testing and rewarding students for desired behaviors and learning.
The document discusses various theories of learning, including:
- Non-associative learning (habituation, sensitization) vs. associative learning (classical and instrumental conditioning)
- Classical conditioning experiments by Pavlov showing that a neutral stimulus can become associated with an unconditioned stimulus through repeated pairing
- Instrumental or operant conditioning experiments by Skinner showing that behaviors are reinforced or weakened by their consequences
- Cognitive learning involves understanding cause-and-effect relationships through mental strategies like mapping internal representations
Learning theories provide frameworks for understanding how human and animal behavior is acquired and changed through experience.

Learning theories provide frameworks for understanding how human and animal behavior is acquired and changed through experience.
Classical conditioning is a type of learning where organisms learn to associate stimuli. Ivan Pavlov, a famous Russian physiologist, discovered classical conditioning through his dog experiments. He found that a dog could learn to associate a neutral stimulus, like a bell, with an unconditioned stimulus, like food, which elicits an unconditioned response, like salivation. After repeated pairings, the neutral stimulus alone could elicit the conditioned response of salivation. Pavlov's experiments demonstrated key concepts of classical conditioning like acquisition, extinction, spontaneous recovery, stimulus generalization, and discrimination. Classical conditioning principles can be applied to areas like teaching and advertising.
Operant conditioning is a method of learning through which organisms learn to repeat behaviors that yield positive outcomes or allow them to avoid negative outcomes. It involves reinforcing behaviors through consequences like rewards or punishments. B.F. Skinner identified the principles of operant conditioning and studied its effects using a Skinner Box, where he taught rats to perform behaviors like lever pressing through positive and negative reinforcement schedules. Operant conditioning uses techniques like shaping, chaining, and reinforcement schedules to modify behaviors. It has applications in areas like computer-assisted instruction and biofeedback.
Operant conditioning is a method of learning that uses reinforcement or punishment to increase or decrease certain voluntary behaviors. There are three types of operants: neutral operants which neither increase nor decrease a behavior, reinforcers which increase a behavior through positive or negative reinforcement, and punishers which decrease a behavior. Reinforcers and punishers can be positive or negative depending on if something is presented or removed from the environment in response to the behavior.
This document discusses behaviorism, which originated from John B. Watson. It was developed further by B.F. Skinner through experiments with operant conditioning. Behaviorism views human behavior as something that can be studied objectively like animals. It focuses on observable behaviors rather than internal mental states. The document outlines some key people in behaviorism like Watson and Skinner. It also discusses the positives and negatives of behaviorism, such as how positive reinforcement can encourage learning but negative stereotypes could impair a student's experience.
This document discusses behaviorism, a learning theory that focuses on observable behaviors and discounts internal mental processes. It describes two types of conditioning: classical conditioning described by Ivan Pavlov which involves involuntary reflex responses, and operant conditioning described by B.F. Skinner which involves reinforcing or punishing voluntary behaviors. While behaviorism provides practical techniques for shaping behavior, it is limited in not accounting for all types of learning and internal cognitive processes.
This presentation will help you understand the concepts and principles used in Operant conditioning. This will also help you to understand the difference between classical and operant conditioning.
All things should be looked at from the perspective of behaviour.
And it doesn’t matter what is going on in the mind, it just matters what the behaviour
So there is no difference in the behaviourist mind between external behaviour and internal thoughts.

B.F. Skinner
B.F. Skinner developed the theory of operant conditioning based on his experiments using reward and punishment schedules with animals. He found that behaviors followed by rewarding consequences tended to be repeated, while behaviors followed by punishing consequences tended to decrease. Key aspects of operant conditioning include reinforcement, which increases behaviors; and punishment, which decreases behaviors. Skinner applied these principles to understanding complex learning in humans.
Skinner's operant conditioning theory posits that behavior is shaped by its consequences rather than driven by internal processes or stimuli. Through experiments using a Skinner box, he found that rats would learn to press a lever when rewarded with food pellets. Their behavior was conditioned and reinforced through positive reinforcement. Operant conditioning is a process of learning whereby behaviors are strengthened if followed by rewarding consequences or weakened if followed by unpleasant consequences, with the goal of increasing or decreasing certain behaviors.
Operant condition theory is one among prominent behaviorist theories proposed by Skinner. The slides will help to unfold basic ideas about this theory.

This document discusses operant conditioning and B.F. Skinner's experiments with it. Operant conditioning is a method of learning through reinforcement and punishment for behaviors. Skinner designed experiments using a Skinner Box to teach rats behaviors like lever pressing through positive reinforcement with food and negative reinforcement by removing electric shocks. He found that behaviors increased most when rewards were given on a variable schedule, not consistently. The technique of shaping breaks behaviors into small steps and reinforces progress, allowing animals to learn complex actions. Skinner used shaping to teach pigeons many tasks. His work showed how reinforcement can guide learning.
Thorndike's theory of learning involves trial and error learning through connectionism and stimulus-response bonds. His experiment on a hungry cat found that it learned over time to escape from a cage more quickly by pushing the correct lever, demonstrating the laws of exercise, effect, and readiness - that learning improves with repetition, rewarding behaviors are strengthened, and an organism must be mentally prepared to learn.
B.F. Skinner was an American psychologist who developed the theory of behaviorism and operant conditioning. Operant conditioning looks at how behaviors are influenced by their consequences. Skinner showed that behaviors followed by positive reinforcement, like food rewards, will increase, while behaviors followed by punishment will decrease. He developed a Skinner box to experimentally demonstrate how rats learned behaviors that were reinforced. Operant conditioning principles can be applied to education by reinforcing desired student behaviors, like answering questions, with praise or approval, while ignoring unwanted behaviors.
Behaviorism is a theory that human behavior can be explained in terms of conditioning in response to environmental stimuli. The key figures who developed behaviorism are John B. Watson, who pioneered the theory, and B.F. Skinner, who expanded on it with his theory of operant conditioning. Behaviorism views behavior as observable and influenced by consequences in the environment.
Applied behavior analysis uses principles of operant conditioning to change behavior in education settings. Teachers can increase desirable student behaviors by choosing effective reinforcers, making them contingent on the target behavior, and using different schedules of reinforcement. Applied behavior analysis also aims to decrease undesirable behaviors through strategies like negative reinforcement and behavior contracts.
This presentation is about one of the learning theories in human resource management- Operant Conditioning. It includes Skinner box experiment and Pigeon box experiment.
The behaviorist perspective focuses on observable and measurable behavior that is learned through conditioning and reinforcement. There are three major theories within behaviorism: classical conditioning proposed by Pavlov which involves associating an unconditioned stimulus with a conditioned stimulus to elicit a response; Thorndike's law of effect and connectionism which hold that behaviors followed by satisfying consequences will be strengthened; and Skinner's operant conditioning where behaviors are reinforced or punished to increase or decrease the likelihood of reoccurrence. Behaviorism aims to explain learning and behavior scientifically through stimuli, responses, and reinforcement schedules without reference to internal mental states.
Behaviorism is a learning theory introduced by B.F. Skinner that focuses on observable behaviors and responses to stimuli. Learning is viewed as the acquisition of new behaviors through conditioning, whether classical conditioning of innate reflexes or operant conditioning using reinforcement and punishment. In a classroom, behaviorism would shape student behavior quickly using positive or negative feedback, allow students to adapt to the environment, and allow teachers to measure behavior. The document provides examples of how behaviorism could be applied in a classroom through rewards, stickers, and tests.

Pavlov, Skinner, and Bandura were influential behaviorist theorists. Pavlov studied classical conditioning in dogs. Skinner researched operant conditioning using rewards and punishments with pigeons. Bandura contributed the social learning theory that behavior is learned through observation and imitation. Behaviorism views learning as changes in observable behavior due to environmental influences like reinforcement and punishment. In the classroom, teachers can apply behaviorist principles using rewards and consequences to shape student behavior.
Behaviorism learning theory is based on the idea that learning is defined as a change in observable behaviors through positive and negative reinforcement and punishment in response to environmental stimuli. Key contributors to behaviorism include Ivan Pavlov who demonstrated classical conditioning in dogs, B.F. Skinner who studied operant conditioning through positive reinforcement with animals, and Albert Bandura who showed learning can occur through observation. The implications for the classroom are that teachers should use reinforcement to encourage positive behaviors and discourage negative behaviors to shape student learning.
Behaviorism is a theory of learning based on conditioning. There are two types of conditioning: classical and operant. Classical conditioning pairs a stimulus with a response, while operant conditioning uses rewards and punishments to modify behavior. B.F. Skinner developed operant conditioning using a Skinner box to reward rats' behaviors. In the classroom, teachers can apply behaviorism by rewarding good behaviors and punishing bad ones to shape student learning. The document provides examples of how a teacher's classroom may incorporate behaviorism through reinforcement and consequences.

This document discusses a study investigating student behavior in the classroom of Manapa II Integrated School. It provides background on classroom behavior and theories of conditioning and choice that may influence student behavior. The study aims to describe the demographic profile of students, understand their awareness of behavior inside the classroom, and examine relationships between behavior and academic performance. The results could help students, parents, teachers, administrators, and future researchers by providing insight into classroom behaviors and their effects. The scope is limited to assessing behaviors of 292 students at Manapa II Integrated School during the 2022-2023 school year.
This document provides an overview of behaviorism. It defines behaviorism as predicting and controlling human behavior through objective measurement and without consideration of internal mental states. Key figures discussed are Ivan Pavlov, known for classical conditioning experiments with dogs, B.F. Skinner who developed operant conditioning through reinforcement techniques with pigeons, and Albert Bandura who studied social learning and observational modeling. The document also outlines classroom implications of behaviorism through operant conditioning with rewards and punishments.
The document discusses behaviorism, a theory of learning based on conditioning. It describes classical and operant conditioning experiments by Ivan Pavlov and B.F. Skinner. John B. Watson introduced behaviorism, believing all behavior is acquired through interactions with the environment. The document also discusses applying behaviorism in the classroom by rewarding students for correct answers and reinforcing behaviors through repetition until they become habit. However, too many rewards could lead students to only work for rewards rather than intrinsically.

Overall, it provides an overview of behaviorism's core ideas and their application to education.
Behaviorism is a theory that human behavior can be explained in terms of conditioning in response to environmental stimuli without appeal to internal mental states or other constructs. Key aspects of behaviorism include conditioning through reinforcement or punishment, learning through observation, and shaping behavior through positive and negative reinforcement. Behaviorism was explored through experiments by psychologists like Ivan Pavlov, B.F. Skinner, and Albert Bandura and influences approaches to education through conditioning students' behaviors in the classroom.
EDUC 108-BEHAVIORISM TO CONNECTIONISM-REYCHEL GAMBOA.pptxreychelgamboa2
Behaviorism assumes that learning occurs through interactions between the learner's behavior and their environment. Key aspects of behaviorism include reinforcement, where behaviors are strengthened through reward or punishment. Important figures in behaviorism include Ivan Pavlov, who studied classical conditioning; B.F. Skinner, who developed operant conditioning; and Edward Thorndike, who proposed connectionism and the law of effect. Behaviorism emphasizes breaking tasks into small steps, providing clear instructions, positive reinforcement, and practice to strengthen stimulus-response bonds and shape behaviors.
Behaviorism is a learning theory that believes learning occurs through positive and negative reinforcement rather than cognitive processing. Key figures in behaviorism include Ivan Pavlov who studied classical conditioning, B.F. Skinner who studied operant conditioning, and Albert Bandura who studied social learning and observational modeling. In a behaviorist classroom, the teacher's role is to guide students and use reinforcement to steer them in the right direction, while students learn through observation and mimicry with the goal of being rewarded. The theory is effective for younger students but not for older students learning more complex topics that require cognitive understanding.
This document summarizes Skinner's operant conditioning theory and Bandura's social learning theory. It discusses key concepts of each theory such as reinforcement schedules in operant conditioning and observational learning processes in social learning theory. Examples are provided to illustrate how these psychological theories can help explain a situation where a student punched his teacher.
Behaviorism is a theory that human behavior can be explained in terms of conditioning and reinforcement. It proposes that behaviors are shaped through consequences such as rewards and punishments. Ivan Pavlov and B.F. Skinner developed classical and operant conditioning which use reinforcement to influence behaviors. Albert Bandura expanded on this with social learning theory, proposing that people also learn from observing and imitating others, and that cognition plays a role through expectations of future consequences. Teachers can apply these concepts through a system of rewards for desired behaviors and punishments for undesirable ones. This helps motivate students, especially young children, to follow rules and complete their work.

2. What is Operant Conditioning?
Burrhus Frederick Skinner, more commonly known as B.F. Skinner (1904-
1990), graduated from Harvard with his Ph.D. in Psychology in 1931.
Skinner was influenced by Watson’s Law of Effect and refined the concept
of operant conditioning. He invented the “Skinner box” which used rats to
study his theories by rewarding behaviors Skinner wanted and ignoring
behaviors he did not. Skinner wanted to prove his theory that behaviors
that were rewarded would increase and get stronger so he added a lever
inside the “Skinner box”. When the rats pressed the lever, a food pellet
would pop out. The rats quickly learned to go straight to the lever when
they wanted to be fed.
This theory interests me because after reading, I realized that I utilize these
techniques in my classroom. I want to enhance my strategies to further
benefit my students.

Psychology
McLeod (2018) states that individuals figure out behaviors and
consequence through the use of operant conditioning (Skinner,
1938). The author goes on to describe the various parts of
Skinner’s experiment. In the Skinner Box, the rats were
rewarded with food pellets when they pressed a lever, this is
positive reinforcement. When the lever was not pressed, the
rats got shocked through an electric current, this is negative
reinforcement. The rats quickly learned that not only did they
not receive a shock, but they also got a food pellet when they
pressed the lever. In 1951, Skinner argued that operant
conditioning can be used to produce desired behavior. Photo credit:

can have many effects on students, one effect being classroom
management. Teachers have found that by using operant conditioning,
students receive immediate feedback. When a teacher rewards behaviors
they want in the classroom, students are quicker to copy the behavior to
keep earning that reward. By punishing behaviors the teacher does not
want in the classroom, the hope is that behavior becomes extinguished.
This may work for a classroom, but the student that is causing the
unwanted behaviors may not always stop.

5. James P. Burns,
Report 1974
Burns (1974) found that when observing two students in
general education first and second grade classrooms, the
students’ offending behaviors decreased when their play-
time was affected. The students were given play-time
reinforcement when their disruptions were below a set
level in a session. After 24 days, the first student had a
drop of disruptive behaviors (a mean of 5.3 to 2.3) and
afternoon disruptions dropped as well (3 to 1.2). The
second student produced similar results. Burns concluded
that these findings supported using operant conditioning
as a beneficial classroom management technique.

6. Analysis
It seems to me that a majority of the articles I came across regarding
operant conditioning were all coming from the same angle. My sources
pointed out the benefits of utilizing operant conditioning in a classroom
setting and I feel it is for good reason. Children want to please by nature,
so it only makes sense to use techniques based in operant conditioning
since it gives almost immediate feedback.

7. Connections
Operant conditioning can span all ages, so
this is a technique that can be used in
Preschool classrooms. For many children,
Preschool is their first taste of formal
education and one of the most important
lessons learned is how to behave
appropriately in a classroom setting.
Children are extremely visual, so if they
see a peer getting a reward they want,
they are more likely to also perform the
desired behavior. Photo credit: newkidscenter.com
8. Connections (cont’d)
As I stated in the first slide, I use operant
conditioning in my classroom. For example, during
Circle Time, the desired behaviors I want my
students to exhibit is to have “calm bodies, quiet
voices, and eyes watching”. While I’m reading a
story, if I notice that a child is having a difficult time
sitting still or being quiet, I will give praise to
another student who is behaving appropriately by
saying something like “Chloe, I love how your eyes
are watching my book and your ears are listening to
my words, great job!” instead of saying “Sarah, you
need to sit still and be quiet.” This approach
benefits all students since I am not viewed as an
adult who is reprimanding.

9. Conclusion
It is hard to believe that an idea from the
1930’s is just recently getting used to it’s
full potential in regards to usage in
classrooms. Operant conditioning is
beneficial from all ages and abilities
because you can change the technique
based on the needs and abilities of your
student(s). By utilizing this technique,
you are able to positively address
situations in your classroom without the
use of stern words or loud voices while
also curtailing any unwanted behaviors.

10. Family Communication
If a parent decided to discuss my method of classroom management by
use of operant conditioning, I would most likely respond:
“By utilizing operant conditioning in my classroom, I am able to
maximize student learning time while also addressing any
behaviors that may pop up over the course of the day. By
rewarding desired behaviors, the likelihood of a student
expressing undesired behaviors decreases while the desired
behaviors increases. This allows all students to have a positive
learning experience at school.”
