Responses w satisfying results are stamped in: behaviour reinforced are repeated. Responses w annoying effects stamped out: behaviour not reinforced are weakened, extinguished. Operation of presenting or removing a reinforce when a response occurs. Descriptive describes a relationship btwn behaviour and the environment (cid:1) (cid:1) (cid:1) (cid:1) (cid:1) (cid:1) (cid:1) (cid:1) (cid:1) (cid:1) (cid:1) C must increase probability of b in the future. Increase in probability occurs because b leads to c (c is contingent on b) Any consequence that increases the probability of a behaviour occurring again in the future. Any stimulus, event, or condition whose presentation immediately following a response (behaviour/operant) increases frequency of that response.
