Document Summary
Instrumental conditioning: learning a contingency between a behaviour and its consequences: what follows increase/decrease the likelihood of the occurrence of that behaviour, decrease behaviour : presentation of a negative reinforcer/ removal of a postive reinforcer. Example: study more frequently = if get better grades / Increase behaviour : reward training/ removal of a negative reinforcer (escape training: reward training : positive reinforcement, punishment training: adding a negative component, escape training: emphasizing a negative reinforcement, omission training: removing the positive stimuli. Remove the unpleasant factor from the environment. Shaping: autoshaping : development of an instrumentally conditioned response occurs in the o absence of direct training. Shaping by successive approximation : involves reinforcing small steps toward a desired behaviour. Get a gold star after reading 2 chapters (fr-2) A classic trend of increasing response on the behaviour. Variable ratio : reenforcing after an interval amount of time (average)
