Psychology Research: Operant Conditioning B.F. Skinner is famous for his research on operant conditioning and negative reinforcement. He developed a device called the "cumulative recorder‚" which showed rates of responding as a sloped line. Using this device‚ he found that behavior did not depend on the preceding stimulus as Watson and Pavlov maintained. Instead‚ Skinner found that behaviors were dependent upon what happens after the response. Skinner called this operant behavior. Schedules

observe. However‚ with the making of the “Skinner box‚” B.F. Skinner was able to do just that. He observed mice in a controlled environment; provided reinforcements to some and nothing for others‚ which allowed him to develop his theory of Operant Conditioning. Skinner based is theory on the work of Edward Thorndike’s “Law of Effect” theory. Through his research‚ Skinner was able to determine that reinforcements strengthened good behavior while punishments weakened bad behaviors. Skinner also believed

Positive Reinforcement is a technique used to increase desired behavior and is used in operant conditioning. Positive reinforcement is offering of desirable effects or consequences for a behavior with the intention of increasing desired behavior. Positive and Negative reinforcement are used or used in the theories of learning whether it is innate

believe that psychological disorders can be treated through the conditioning of appropriate behaviors. There are two kinds of conditioning‚ classical and operant conditioning. Classical conditioning is changing of a behavior through the pairing of two stimuli. Classical conditioning is well known as being research by Ivan Pavlov‚ one of the behaviorists who influenced Skinner. Operant conditioning is changing and conditioning a behavior through reinforcement‚ whether the reinforcement is

to Brennan (2003) a person’s behaviour‚ including their personality‚ is learnt. As children we are tabula rasa‚ which means we do not have any innate behaviour‚ we learn these as a result of conditioning. Watson’s famous but highly unethical “little Albert experiment” highlights the influence of conditioning. Driscoll (2000) suggests that behaviourism offers a particular perspective on how learning occurs and how teaching impacts that process. Green et al (2000) propose that only evident‚ measurable

Air Conditioning Systems An air conditioning‚ or HVAC&R‚ system is composed of components and equipment arranged in sequence to condition the air‚ to transport it to the conditioned space‚ and to control the indoor environmental parameters of a specific space within required limits. Most air conditioning systems perform the following functions: 1. Provide the cooling and heating energy required 2. Condition the supply air‚ that is‚ heat or cool‚ humidify or dehumidify‚ clean and purify‚ and
