"Operant conditioning" is a type of learning developed by B. F. Skinner and other behavioral psychologists. Operant conditioning is a psychological term that describes how people learn from the consequences of their actions. If you do something and something good happens as a result, then you are more likely to repeat that behavior. On the other hand, if you do something and something bad happens, you are much less likely to engage in that kind of behavior.

abstract
  • "Operant conditioning" is a type of learning developed by B. F. Skinner and other behavioral psychologists. Operant conditioning is a psychological term that describes how people learn from the consequences of their actions. If you do something and something good happens as a result, then you are more likely to repeat that behavior. On the other hand, if you do something and something bad happens, you are much less likely to engage in that kind of behavior. Reinforcers are the "something good" that can happen as a result of any action. A reinforcer is any consequence that increases the occurrence of a behavior. A punishment is any consequence that decreases the occurrence of a behavior. * These vary from person to person, as they are based on each individual's interests, tastes and motivation. For example, if you enjoy eating chocolate, you can use that as a motivation to complete a task, like studying. If you give yourself a piece of chocolate for every page you read, you may find yourself motivated to do more studying. However, if you detest chocolate, you will not be more motivated to study more. * Positive and negative, when used in front of punishment and reinforcement do not mean "good" or "bad," but rather refer to the presentation of a consequence.
