skinner's theory of operant conditioning

acquisition rate is how long does it take for the reinforcer o teach a certain organism such as animals to behave in a certain way. Rate of response is an instant reaction that the organism would behave when given food or something that help the organism to do the task that reinforcer wanted. Extinction is a when the organism stop to behave in a certain way when the reinforcer decided to stop given the reinforcement to that particular organism.

Primary reinforcement, secondary reinforcement, and generalized reinforcement are the main three types of reinforcement. Primary reinforcement is the basic needs of human such as water, oxygen, food, and shelter. This reinforcement is natural and biological instinct in which forces us to search for those needs. On the other hand, secondary reinforcement must be paired with primary reinforcement in order to occur. A secondary reinforce is created after operant discriminate stimuli. There are two types of reinforces involved in operant conditioning such as secondary reinforcement and generalized reinforcement

Generalized reinforcement often paired with primary reinforcement and secondary reinforcement that related to social culture. This involved money, fame, social class, recognition, social status, and social position within the greater social structure. This transition to certain characteristics of generalized reinforcers

Operant conditioning is based on reinforcement and it means a behavior that is occurred due to the cause of environment in which it helps to develop a consequence at the end. It would make sense to think of it as a external factor.If a behavior is reinforced, then there will be a repeated behavior.

Skinner argues that positive and negative reinforcement can strengthen behavior.

Skinner believed that punishment is a terrible treatment for misbehave children. He argued that the way how certain parents punish their kids can produce a negative side-effect throughout the early childhood‘s development. For instance, a positive punishment would be those parents using logical reasoning to explain how his or her behavior is unacceptable, rather than telling the kid directly you are bad. This would be an example of concerted cultivation’s practice that middle class parents used to educate their kids. On the other hand, a natural growth of accomplishment is when those parents using corporal punishment as a form of excessive punishment to teach their kids how to behave.
