What can you do with operant conditioning? https://www. youtube. com/watch?v=h9ydv8sscye. Operant conditioning: organisms learn to have particular behaviours to obtain positive, or avoid negative, outcomes. Studied how cats learned to escape from puzzle. No explicit training spontaneous behaviours only boxes. Law of effect: in the presence of a particular stimulus, called the discriminative stimulus (s), a particular response (r) may lead to a particular outcome (o). In context (s), response (r) produces outcome (o). If the outcome from a certain context is good and the context comes up again, they are more likely to do it again. Initially, it was thought to be a rote motor program. But - if the normal motor program is blocked, animals can use other methods to achieve the same goal. Find other ways to get the desirable outcome. S r o a class of behaviors that can produce an effect. a goal or intention. Have a certain behaviour a certain outcome will come.
