Distinguish between operant conditioning‚ observational learning‚ and social learning. How are these different kinds of learning utilized in the work place? Give specific examples for each one. o Operant Conditioning: conditioning in which an operant response is brought under stimulus control by virtue of presenting reinforcement contingent upon the occurrence of the operant response • o Observational Learning: is learning that occurs through observing the behavior of others • o Social Learning:

known as the “Social Cognitive Theory” (“Albert Bandura‚” 2015). He believed that two aspects‚ imitation and operant conditioning‚ result in social learning. According to Hannum (2005)‚ “Bandura noted that our behavior is changed when we see a person take a specific action and be rewarded for that action”. This is where both operant conditioning and imitation comes in. Operant conditioning is any learning that is established through the use of punishments/behaviors (Cherry‚ 2015). In order for

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

the three theories. Negative reinforcement is used in behaviorism‚ where it involves the removal of an unpleasant stimulus when a desired behavior occurs. 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

explanation of attachments. The learning theory proposes that attachment behaviours are learnt through the imitation of the attachment figures meaning they are not innate. One explanation of how this happens is through Classical Conditioning. In the Learning Theory Classical Conditioning is the forming of an attachment through association. The Learning Theory states that when a baby is born they naturally want food. When the mother feeds the baby it automatically associates the food which is the primary reinforces

also observed people throughout my life and they are the main reason why I am interested in this study. Behaviorism‚ also known as behavioral psychology‚ is a theory of learning based upon the idea that all behaviors are acquired through conditioning. Conditioning occurs through interaction with the environment. Behaviorists believe that our responses to environmental stimuli shapes our behaviors. According to behaviorism‚ behavior can be studied in a systematic and observable manner with no consideration

remotely resembling bar pressing‚ gradually progressing to behaviours that are approximately closer to a true bar press. The phase ends when Sniffy exhibits a full minute of all true bar presses‚ or virtually all true bar presses as indicate by the operant associations chart. The experimenter then tabulates and records the number of bar presses per min. Phase 4 requires the experimenter to discontinue manually reinforcing Sniffy while observing the increase in rate of the bar pressing response. The

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

consideration is useless in explaining behaviour. Behaviourists are unique among psychologists in believing that it is unnecessary to speculate about internal mental processes. The behaviourist theory believes that cultural and sub – cultural conditioning moulds and shapes behaviour and subsequently the personality. Behaviourists also believe that people are born with only a handful of innate reflexes and that all of a person’s complex behaviours are the result of learning through interaction with
