Document Summary
He passed away at a young age; not sure why. Exposed to a rat and hit something loud to scare him so that he became conditioned to be scared of rats. He became fearful of anything fluffy and rat like or teddy bear like. Watson demonstrated that you can teach children anything, including fear. Consequences of behaviour determine whether that behaviour is repeated in the future: skinner focused on how the consequences of a behaviour could lead to that behaviour response being strengthened or weakened, 2 kinds of consequences are influenced. Positive reinforcement: behaviour is increased bc it is followed by a reward. Negative reinforcement: behaviour is increased by taking away something negative. Ex: clean your room and you don"t have to do the dishes. Ex: remove a grounding when they apologise. Ex: big bang theory chocolate for penny. To stop reinforcement you have to slowly stop it. A consequence that decreases the future likelihood that the behaviour will occur.
