“You often learn
when you don’t
intend to learn,
and you often
teach when you
don’t intend to
teach”
What is Learning?






A Change in Behavior as a Result of
Experience
Examples of Learned Behaviors
Non-Examples (Unlearned Behaviors)
Intentional Learning
Unintentional Learning
Behavioral Theories of Learning Emphasize
Observable Behavior

Thorndike: The Law of Effect
“…the consequences of one’s present
behavior play a crucial role in determining
one’s future behavior.” (p. 144)
B.F. Skinner
Skinner: Operant Conditioning
Stimulus
Response
Reinforcement
Principles: Reinforcement
A Consequence That Strengthens a Behavior
 Repeat: Reinforcement Strengthens a Behavior
 If the Frequency of a Behavior Increases After
a Consequence, the Consequence is a
Reinforcer
 There Are Several Types of Reinforcers

Principles: Reinforcers
Primary and Secondary
 Positive and Negative
 Free and Contingent (Premack Principle)
 Intrinsic and Extrinsic
 Continuous and Intermittent (Schedules)

Principles: Punishment
A Consequence That Weakens a Behavior
 Repeat: Punishment Weakens a Behavior
 If the Frequency of a Behavior Decreases
After a Consequence, the Consequence is a
Punisher
 There Are Several Types of Punishers

Principles: Punishers
Presentation and Removal
 Time Out
 Effectiveness of Punishment

Can You Distinguish Between
the Different Types of
Behavioral Consequences?



Positive Reinforcement
Negative Reinforcement
Punishment
Principles: Shaping
Reinforcing Approaching Final Behavior
 Breaking Task into Parts
 Using in Classroom

Principles: Extinction
Behavior That Is Not Reinforced Will
Weaken
 Extinction Burst
 Considerations In Classroom Management

Social Learning Theory: Bandura
Modeling
 Phases of Observational Learning

Behavioral Principles in the
Classroom
Avoid Overjustification Effect - Zimbardo
 Guidelines on the use of Rewards - Deci

 Give
Rewards to Inform
 Rewards Should Not Be Used to Manipulate
 Reward for Academic Performance
 Reward Incentives Should Be Inconspicuous
 Bribes Weaken Intrinsic Motivation
