Operant conditioning about sleep procrastination Introduction There are many bad habits these days and the most serious one for me is stay up late all the time and not energetic enough in the morning. This behavior is called sleep procrastination. Just as the words from the researchers at Utrecht University, “pre-bed procrastination is the latest diagnosable strain of mismanaged time, stopping us from shutting off when we should and causing us to fritter away valuable snoozing opportunities on unnecessary tasks.” Indeed, such tiny behavior has already spread out the entire campus and wastes energy and time. Therefore, trying to correct this behavior by using psychological ways, I decided to use operant conditioning, the process of associating …show more content…
Every day before sleeping, I record the exact time and collect them to show the effectiveness of certain methods. This experiment could be divided into 3 steps: 1) Collecting baseline data in first 3 days. In these days I would not use any conditioning, just to measure the baseline data of my sleeping time. 2) Using operant conditioning in middle 3 days. Because I am extremely fond of eating steak. Therefore, I decided to use steak as the stimulus for this experiment. If I could sleep before 12o’ clock, I would get steak the next noon; however if I could not sleep on time, I would only have normal lunch in dining hall the next day. 3) Measuring the difference after the conditioning: in the last 3 days. In this period of time, I would stop conditioning and measure the aftereffect of the behavior change; at the same time, comparing the baseline data and the result data to find out the effectiveness of the …show more content…
However, after I stopped the conditioning, the sleeping time went back to the middle range of baseline and the conditioning time. It is the process called extinction. Extinction states that when the reinforcement/punishment stops, the behavior will return to baseline . This phenomenon demonstrates that the conditioning is effective in a short period of time. Conclusion In the experiment of changing sleep procrastination by using operant conditioning with positive reinforcement, the effectiveness of the conditioning changes during the conditioning time. It shows that the stimulus is effective to me in certain extent. But the response data also shows that the extinction effect of the operant conditioning disturbs the result of the experiment. Tring to decrease the disturbance, I should extend the experiment time to make sure that the conditioning could work better. In conclusion, the experiment works well by choosing the positive reinforcement and the suitable

- skinenr's theory of operant conditioninganalytical essayOperant conditioning is a process of reinforcing a response that is made by the stimulus and consequence; thus, it shapes an individual's behavior. If a response happens to go along with the stimulus, then this response is reinforced. Therefore, it will increase the chance that response would be reinforced in the future when the same stimulus is presence. Consequence can be broken down into punishment or reinforcement. A punishment would reduce the undesirable action; while reinforcement increases the desirable action. Positive reinforcement involves with a stimulus such as a reward or treats for good behavior. While, negative reinforcement is eliminated the negative stimulus after the desired response is shown. Positive punishment is when a positive stimulus is introduced after an undesirable behavior. Misbehavior children confined in the house would decrease unfavorable behavior.

I measured my time of sleep in minute(s) and used the data to develope a bar graph that depict my duration of sleep per night in one week. Comparing the original and updated graph, there is a minimal decrease in my sleeping duration. Based on the original graph, my lowest sleep time is 124 minutes and my highest sleep time is 492 minutes. After averaging all the time I slept through seven days, I am averaging around 346 minutes of sleep a night. In the updated graph, my sleep time is slightly lower at 308 minutes a night. As explained in Part C, my intervention is very much contingent on my school and work schedule. Therefore, the sleeping duration recorded shows a sign of negative outcome since there are many things to do and study for near the end of the semester. Part of my intervention was to remind myself that I should get ready to sleep by using the alarm on my phone. During the project, I identified a facilitator that I believe was helpful to support my sleeping habits. Exercising before sleep has still proven to be the most efficient way to help me fall asleep. Expending energy requires me to replenish by sleeping; something I noticed after a long day at work during the weekend. My ability to sleep through noises has not shown any sign of improvement, since it

The main goal of using this type of conditioning is to encourage the individual to change his or her behavior in some way. Specifically, the individual can be encouraged to perform a desired behavior more often through use of positive reinforcement and negative reinforcement, and he or she can also be encouraged to perform an undesired behavior less often through use of positive punishment and negative punishment. Positive reinforcement is basically a type of operant conditioning in which an addition or reward is given to the individual when he or she has displayed the desired behavior, and as a result, the behavior

843 wordsRead More - Behavioral Theories Of Abnormal Behaviorexplanatory essayThe behavioral perspective is a theoretical perspective that says that abnormal behavior is caused by flawed learning experiences (Halgin and Whitbourne, 2013). B.F Skinner, the most common behaviorist, believed a person’s environment or anything external can influence a person mentally (AllPsych, 2011). The main point of the behavioral perspective is how the environment affects a person’s overall behavior (AllPsych, 2011). The three types of behavioral theories are classical conditioning, operant conditioning, and contiguity theory. Operant conditioning is when a person learns behaviors through reinforcement (Halgin and Whitbourne, 2013). Skinner studied operant conditioning by doing experiments using dogs that he placed in a “Skinner Box” (McLeod, 2011). Contiguity theory says that any stimulus and response that is connected will be associated with each other (Ramo and Howe-Tennant). Contiguity theory comes from the work of E. R. Guthrie (Ramo and Howe-Tennant). Classical conditioning is a learning connection between an original stimulus and a naturally evoking stimulus that causes an automatic reflexive reaction. Classical conditioning was the first type of learning to be discovered (Halgin and Whitbourne, 2013). Classical conditioning was also the first to be studied by behaviorist (Halgin and Whitbourne, 2013). Classical conditioning was discovered by Ivan Pavlov (AllPsych, 2011). During Pavlov’s experiments, he would put meat powder in dogs mouths that had tubes inserted in different organs to measure the dogs body responses (AllPsych, 2011). Pavlov found that the dogs began to salivate before the meat powder was presented to them (AllPsych, 2011). He also found that the dogs began to salivate as soon as the person feedi...

The relationship of stimulus can be revealed through a method behavior analyst call the ABCs analysis. The more formal term for this method is called “Antecedent, Behavior, Consequence” analysis. The stimulus is represented by the antecedent (events prior to the occurred, behavior) and the Consequence. (Events that precedes a behavior). Behavior Analysis believes these are imperative to understanding behavior and the influence of events. Furthermore, the term operant conditioning behavior corresponds to the stimuli of the consequence. Moreover, the Consequence that precedes a behavior can be positive or negative. The significance of these stimuli is the ability to influence and affect the contingency of the individual target behavior.

1335 wordsRead More - Operant Conditioning In Psychologyexplanatory essayWhen repeating this action several times it helps humans to stay engaged in the cycle of the new behavior because they receive motivation and feedback continuously. My personal experiences have amplified the credibility of operant conditioning because throughout the experiment, I have personally seen the evolution of the student. The change wasn’t obvious in the beginning, but surely after a couple of times they change gradually took place. This is a reflection of empirical theory, which is a theory defined as knowledge derived from surrounding environment and experience, according to webster 's dictionary, because the student is learning from experience that if he learns to distribute his time he will be able to sleep more the night before and still be able to get 90 or above on the tests. Likewise operant condition is also heightened by behaviorism, the study of observable and quantifiable aspects of behavior according to the dictionary, because it showcases how people constantly keep learning and modifying existing behaviors to better themselves. Furthermore giving him/her an encouragement to start the process will only amplify the quickness of his the wanted results. Overall the hypothesis for my experiment is that if I give my
