Theory Operant conditioning
 

hi, im stuck on Operant conditioning theorist? could anyone tell me what this theory is about and how its influenced practice please???

Hi, BF Skinner's theory regards operant and classical conditioning. How this theory can influence practice is through reward and punishment for behaviour that's viewed as correct and incorrect / appropriate & inappropriate

Link this to what you do in your setting eg. praise and celebration and the effect that has, reward charts and why they are used, consequences - why and how they're used and the outcomes/what happens when they are and aren't used.

If you're a Big Bang Theory viewer there's one episode that shows attempts at behaviour modification, positive & negative reinforcement in action on adults.

There's also good underpinning knowledge in the first theorist book by practical preschool on amazon if you've access to a copy.

Verbs for level 3
