    Course Module: Operant conditioningCourse Topic: Operant conditioning in practiceComment: Module 2 : Operant Conditioning : Topic : Operant Conditioning in practice : Animal is reinforced for any behaviour which yield. desired goals like animal training. Positive reinforcement and withdrawal of reinforcement is done to do away with wayward behaviour and teach new responses. There is a way of rewarding people for good behaviour with tokens which are then used for privileges.

    Course Module: Operant conditioningCourse Topic: Punishment (including negative effects of punishment) and ways to maximise effectivenessComment: Module 2 : Ooetant Conditioning : Topic : Punishment ( including nrgative effects of punishments) and ways to maximize effectivenes, It differs with negative reinforcement in that it decrease response occuring, and introduce unpleasant stimuli like hit or yell. Punishment may not decrease behaviour but teach child to be aggressive or avoid punisher, at times it frusrtates punisher. Effective punishment should deal with a person's actions not character.

    Course Module: Operant conditioningCourse Topic: Learning: schedules of reinforcementComment: Module 2 : Operant Conditioning : Topic. : Learning : schedules of reinforcement : it refers to frequency in which a response is reinforced in operant conditioning. Schedules of reinforcements 1. when a satisfying response is reinforced every time, but not continuously, after a set number of reponses like fifth response. 2. a satisfying response is reinforced at regular time intervals every five minutes. 3. a satisfying response is reinforced at irregular intervals but average number is fixed like poker machines. 4. a satisfying response is reinforced at random intervals within a fixed length of time like catching four fish within two hour period.

    Course Module: Operant conditioningCourse Topic: Operant (instrumental) conditioningComment: Module 2 : Operant Conditioning : Topic Operant conditioning outline : it is where the consequence is dependent on organism response, like a box equipped with lever which when pressed dispensed food or water, as a result, the rat learned that each time it pressed lever food will be dispensed, others were equipped with electric shocks to punish animals for certain responses. Skinners develop ooerant conditioning, where he believed that our behaviour on environment and that it produces cinsequences ( rewards and punishments)

    Course Module: Classical conditioningCourse Topic: The main elements in classical conditioningComment: Module 1 : Classical conditioning : Topic : The main elements in classical conditioning : When a conditioned response is no longer reinforced by unconditioned stimulus, the conditioned response will stop to occur, like bell presented without meat, continuously, dog will stop to salivate. When an organism has benn conditioned to respond to a stimulus it responded to similar stimuli. When an organism responds to conditioned stimulus but detects a difference in other stimuli and it does not respond to them

    Course Module: Classical conditioningCourse Topic: Key terms in classical conditioningComment: Module 1 : Classical conditioning : Topic : Key terms in classical conditioning : Conditioned stimulus is a stumulus which before conditioning, would evoke no response, like a bell. There is a stimulus which produces a response like meat. Unlearned response elicited by unconditioned stimulus like a dog, involuntarily salivated at meat, however, dog learned to associate the ringing of bell and presentation of meat and learnt to salivate at the bell alone.
