Concept of Operant Conditioning Reinforcement: The process by which a stimulus increase the probability that a preceding behavior will be repeated Punishment: The process by which a stimulus decrease the probability that a preceding behavior will be repeated Positive Reinforcer: A stimulus added to the environment that brings about an increase in a preceding response Negative Reinforcer: An unpleasant stimulus whose removal leads to an increase in the probability that a preceding response will be repeated in future Positive Punishment: Weakens a response through the application of an unpleasant stimulus Negative Punishment: Consists of the removal of something pleasant
9.

Modeling effect: Acquiring a new behavior as a result of observing a model; eg: Watching martial arts and try on sister. Inhibitory-Disinhibitory effect: Stopping or starting some deviant behavior after seeing a model punished or rewarded for similar behavior; eg: Disinhibitory-(staring) havent use an act in a long time, but now starts to. Inhibitory-(stopping) thiefs stop stealing when a lot of friends get caught by police. Eliciting effect: Involves eliciting responses that, instead of matching the model’s behavior precisely, are simply related to it. Mum praise elder bro for doing well in exams, younger bro wants to do well too.
