    Operant Conditioning, Reinforcement, and Punishment.

    Operant Conditioning, Reinforcement, and Punishment.

    In today's episode I review Operant Conditioning plus Reinforcement and Punishment. I go over the differences between positive and negative reinforcement and punishment, and share a few examples along the way. 

    Do you have any examples of reinforcement that could be looked at as either negative or positive like I discuss in today's episode? Find me on Instagram and let me know! https://www.instagram.com/jess.talks.aba/

    Respondent Conditioning With a Little bit of Operant Conditioning too

    Respondent Conditioning With a Little bit of Operant Conditioning too

    In today's episode I take a closer look at Respondent Conditioning, also known as Classical Conditioning or Pavlovian Conditioning. I really tried my best to make it simple, but the amount of times I said the words "conditioned, unconditioned, stimulus, and response" started to make my head spin!  Today's main focus was on Respondent Conditioning with just a sprinkle of Operant Conditioning, and in my next episode I will pick up where I left off and go into more details about Operant Conditioning and review reinforcement and punishment. 

     As always, here is a reference for the two texts I consulted for today's episode: 

    Cooper, J.O., Heron, T.E., Heward, W.L. (2007). Applied behavior analysis (2nd Ed.). Upper Saddle, New Jersey: Pearson. 

    I use the second edition, but here is a link to their newest edition: https://www.pearson.com/us/higher-education/program/Cooper-Applied-Behavior-Analysis-3rd-Edition/PGM1784647.html 

    Miltenberger, R. G. (2008). Behavior modification: Principles and procedures (5th Ed.). Belmont, CA: Thomson Wadsworth Again, I have the 5th edition but Miltenberger has since released a 6th edition with revisions and updates to reflect the latest research in Applied Behaviour Analysis.  https://www.cengage.ca/shop/ProductDisplay?langId=-1&storeId=10651&catalogId=10052&productId=706497
