  2. Operant conditioning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operant_conditioning

    In short, some consequences strengthen behavior and some consequences weaken behavior. By plotting escape time against trial number Thorndike produced the first known animal learning curves through this procedure. [4] Humans appear to learn many simple behaviors through the sort of process studied by Thorndike, now called operant conditioning.

  3. Law of effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_effect

    One of the first principles associated with learning and behavior was the Law of Effect, which states that behaviors that lead to satisfying outcomes are likely to be repeated, whereas behaviors that lead to undesired outcomes are less likely to recur. [9] Thorndike's Puzzle-Box.

  4. Reinforcement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reinforcement

    Differential reinforcement of alternative behavior (DRA) - A conditioning procedure in which an undesired response is decreased by placing it on extinction or, less commonly, providing contingent punishment, while simultaneously providing reinforcement contingent on a desirable response. An example would be a teacher attending to a student only ...

  5. Behavior modification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Behavior_modification

    Behavior modification is a treatment approach that uses respondent and operant conditioning to change behavior. Based on methodological behaviorism, [1] overt behavior is modified with (antecedent) stimulus control and consequences, including positive and negative reinforcement contingencies to increase desirable behavior, as well as positive and negative punishment, and extinction to reduce ...

  6. Applied behavior analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Applied_behavior_analysis

    ABA is an applied science devoted to developing procedures which will produce observable changes in behavior. [3] [9] It is to be distinguished from the experimental analysis of behavior, which focuses on basic experimental research, [10] but it uses principles developed by such research, in particular operant conditioning and classical conditioning.

    Typical training days dropped substantially for managers, especially among the longest-trained. On-the-job training is a requirement for a little over half of U.S. management occupations.

  8. Positive behavior support - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_behavior_support

    These behaviors may be supported by reinforcement in the environment. People may inadvertently reinforce undesired behaviors by providing objects and/or attention because of the behavior. The positive behavior support process involves identifying goals, then undertaking functional behavior assessment (FBA). FBAs clearly describe behaviors ...
