Operant conditioning is one of the many ways of learning, which is constructed by the means of giving rewards and punishment in an individual. The type of conditioning that going to be used in this experiment holds a specific behavior and consequences, consequences could be either a reward or a punishment that could have an effect in learning. Reward and punishment are modulators of an individual’s performance. According to B.F Skinner, internal thoughts could help bring about learning, he thought that external factors could affect ones learning capabilities and he considered this behavior. His theory involves only the external factors that can drive ones learning capabilities. There are reinforcements that were presented by B.F Skinner these are the positive and the negative reinforces. Positive reinforcement is a type of stimulus, which could inspire an individual to do something again because he will get a reward, the negative reinforces on the other hand is a move that will take you away from being punished. Punishment on the other hand have also two types namely, positive and negative punishments. Positive punishment is adding something that would hinder an individual to do a thing again and the negative punishment is removing something for an individual to learn. One of the effective incentives is a reward; applicable if the person is interested in the reward (Marshall, Marvin, 2006) The logicality of having something that is worth the effort could be a reason for a person to work harder to aim a specific goal. Rewards could also be a sense of acknowledgement it is a way of congratulating merit and showing some appreciation. Students are said to associate their consequences in learning most of their behavior. The said consequences if repeated
