Document Summary
The law of effect- intuitive law: behaviors with positive consequences are stamped in, those with negative consequences are stamps out and performed less frequently. Instrumental conditioning works the best when the consequences immediately follows the response: contingency cannot be formed. Involves the presentation of a positive reinforcer following a response, which increases the frequency of the behavior: e. g. If you give a person a cold drink every time they put money in a machine, the behavior will increase. Punishment: punishment training: the presentation of a negative reinforcer leads to a decrease in the behavior being reinforced, e. g. Involves removing a positive reinforcers and it leads to a decrease in the behavior being reinforced: e. g. Billy likes to watch tv and tease his sister, so, his mom will decrease 30min in tv time: e. g. Time outs in school every time he teases his sister (she is removing the positive reinforcer tv: removal of a positive reinforcer presentation of a negative reinforcer.
