of methods: reinforcement and punishment. Both methods can be enforced in either a positive or negative manner. Positive means something is being added, and negative means something is being taken away. These methods were founded by B.F. Skinner, he believed "behavior is motivated by the consequences
1b During Pavlov’s intriguing experiment on dogs that included the testing of the animal and concluded with the stunning discovery of classical conditioning. Notably, When Pavlov rang a bell and brought food, it made it clear to the dog that once he heard the sound of the bell and smelled the sense of the food that he would be fed.While Pavlov kept doing this process over and over again, it leads to once he rang just the bell, the dog would know that food has arrived. Normally, in this experiment
of people’s action influenced their behavior. Reinforcement Actions that are followed by the reinforcement will be strengthened and more likely to occur again in the future. Cherry, K. A. (2005). There are two major categories of reinforcements which are primary reinforcement and secondary reinforcement. Primary reinforcement is that occurs naturally and does not need learning in order to work. Secondary reinforcement or conditioned reinforcement involves stimuli that have become rewarding by being
and punishments for behavior. Using operant conditioning, an association is made between a behavior and the consequence for that behavior. Psychologists use a method
environment to induce results. However, Skinner and Watson both repudiated that thinking or emotion plays a significant role in determining behavior. Instead, humans appear to learn many behaviors -including languages- through repetitions and positive or negative reinforcement. Scientifically speaking, behaviorism explains how learning takes place. When it is taken into account in the field of language teaching, it shows how languages are learned. Behaviorist psychology had a significant effect on the teaching
Psychological Perspective in Health and Social care Behavioural Approach The behaviourist approach believe that by association or as a cause of reinforcement individuals learn to behave in reaction to the environment. There are two main theorist who looked into two main theories of behaviourist approach. Ivan Pavlov was the theorist that looked at classical conditioning theory and B.F Skinner looked at the operant conditioning theory. These are the two theories which showed how the behaviour of
occur (pg. 118). So receiving store money, we knew it meant we did something good and should be repeated. In the text it talks about a response cost, when athletes lose reinforcers for inappropriate behavior. This system is similar to token reinforcement, which is used in the classroom (pg. 121). Therefore, student would lose the reinforcers which was the money for misbehaving. For example, if we
Case 1 Introduction of the case problem Victoria has to deal with an increasingly diverse group of workers in her department. Diversity management would help her to deal with it. I will be suggesting ways on how she can effectively manage diversity in the work environment. As the head of department in the organisation Victoria should learn about diversity management because of problem of increasingly diverse group of workers in her department. By Griffin (2011, P. 39) diversity means the difference
psychodynamic approach all come to the same conclusion that behavior is staggered from nurture rather than nature, even though behaviorism counteracts and takes nature into consideration. Behaviourism was originated by john Watson in the twentieth century, which concluded of observational experiments of humans and animals that support the theories of psychologists in environmental factors of our behaviour rather than internal concepts although they do lack ecological validity.

reaction. And another conditioning is operant conditioning. It is a type of learning which behavior is strengthened with reward and gotten rid off with punishment. And another type of learning process is model. People imitate certain actions and this impacts their development. 3.) This interests me because my parents used this concept to shape me as better individual. And the ironic thing was my parents did not know they were using this theory. I remember when I was in elementary school; my parents rewarded
