Evaluation Title: Operant Conditioning
The table below provides the four kinds of operant conditioning as they apply to dog training.
After reviewing these examples, create two examples from each category but apply them to human behavior.
- You will provide 2 examples of positive reinforcement;
- 2 examples of negative reinforcement;
- 2 examples of positive punishment and
- 2 examples of negative punishment.
Remember, Reinforcement = increasing behavior and Punishment = decreasing behavior. Positive = applying something to increase or decrease behavior and Negative = removing something to increase or decrease behavior.
