| | Operant conditioning - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Operant conditioning is distinguished from Pavlovian conditioning in that operant conditioning deals with voluntary behavior explained by its consequences, while Pavlovian conditioning deals with involuntary behavior triggered by its antecedents. | | | According to Skinner's theory of operant conditioning, there are two methods of decreasing a behavior or response. | | | Reinforcement and punishment, the core ideas of operant conditioning, are either positive (adding a stimulus to an organism's environment), or negative (removing a stimulus from an organism's environment). |

| | Operant Conditioning and its Application to Instructional Design |
| | Operant conditioning is the foundation on which B.F. Skinner explored human behavior. | | | According to Burton, operant conditioning is based on "a functional and interconnected relationship between the stimuli that preceded a response (antecedents), the stimuli that follow a response (consequences), and the response (operant) itself" (1981, p. | | | Similar to classical conditioning, operant conditioning studies the response of the learner following a stimulus; however, the response is voluntary and the concept of reinforcement is emphasized. |

| | Operant Conditioning |
| | Operant conditioning, also called instrumental conditioning, is a method for modifying behavior (an operant) which utilizes contingencies between a discriminative stimulus, an operant response, and a reinforcer to change the probability of a response occurring again in that situation. | | | Using the operant conditioning technique of shaping, you speak the command to "shake" (the discriminative stimulus) and then wait until your dog moves one of his forepaws a bit (operant response). | | | Skinner is famous for the invention of the Skinner box, an experimental apparatus which he designed to modify animal behavior within an operant conditioning paradigm |

| | Operant Conditioning |
| | Operant conditioning occurs when the association of response and reinforcer causes the animal to make the response again later in a similar situation.The discriminative stimulus signals the animal that a response at a given time is likely to be reinforced. | | | In operant conditioning, an animal must first make a response; that response is usually preceded by a discriminative stimulus, and sometimes followed by a reinforcer. | | | So, operant conditioning can be defined as a procedure in which a response followed by a stimulus recurs. |

| | Such instrumental or operant conditioning is different from Pavlovian or "classical conditioning", where the US presentations are independnt from the behavior of the animal, but instead is contingent upon environmental events. | | | We use the term operant (or instrumental) conditioning to describe one type of associative learning in which there is a contingency between a behavior (BH) and the presentation of a biologically significant event (the "reinforcer", outcome or unconditioned stimulus: US). | | | Once you think you know how operant and classical conditioning work, you can read how "brains as output/input devices" use these forms of associative learning. |
