CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -When Thomas was caught writing on the wall with his markers, his markers were taken away from him. Operant conditioning; omission training because you want to decrease the behavior so you take something of value away from the child.

Detailed explanation-2: -For example, when lab rats press a lever when a green light is on, they receive a food pellet as a reward. When they press the lever when a red light is on, they receive a mild electric shock. As a result, they learn to press the lever when the green light is on and avoid the red light.

Detailed explanation-3: -In Operant Conditioning Theory, there are essentially four quadrants: Positive Reinforcement, Positive Punishment, Negative Reinforcement, and Negative Punishment.

Detailed explanation-4: -Operant responses can include everything from a rat’s lever press maintained by food, an infant’s crying maintained by maternal attention, and small talk maintained by social companionship.

Detailed explanation-5: -The main difference between classical and operant conditioning is that classical conditioning associates involuntary behavior with a stimulus while operant conditioning associates voluntary action with a consequence. Classical and operant conditioning are two central concepts in behavioral psychology.
