What is Behaviourism?
Objective study of behaviour
Learning as a function of change
Personal responses to environment
Rewarded responses= Conditioning
Reinforcements

Principles of Behaviourism
Behaviour that is positively reinforced will reoccur.
Information should be presented in small amounts so that responses can be shaped and reinforced.
Reinforcements will generalize across similar stimuli and stimulus generalization.

Operant Conditioning
Behaviour Modification
Behaviour can stem from previous reinforcement history.
Believed freedom and dignity to be unobservable and useless for a scientific purpose.

Skinner’s Beliefs & Goals
Shape patients behaviour so that they would behave in socially acceptable ways.ABC’s of Behavioural LearningSkinner believed that we could get organisms to perform the most complex of behaviours.

Skinner’s Toolbox
Behaviourist strategies advocated and utilized by Skinner:
Operant Conditioning: Behaviour ModificationPositive Reinforcement
Extinction Schedules of Reinforcement
Token Economy Approximations of desired behaviour

Why Sara is failing in school
Failure to provide positive reinforcement for good behaviour.
Information and instruction not presented in small, manageable chunks.
Teacher fails to reward approximations
Failure to look at antecedants and consequences of behaviour
