What is the difference between respondent behavior and operant behavior?
Respondent behavior is produced spontaneously by the organism, while operant behavior is preceded and caused by a stimulus.

What is the purpose of reinforcement in Skinner's theory?
To shape complex and unusual behavior

What is the difference between positive reinforcement and negative reinforcement?
Positive reinforcement involves administering an unpleasant stimulus, while negative reinforcement involves removing a pleasant stimulus.

What is positive reinforcement?
No stimulus is given after the behaviour has been performed
A negative (unpleasant) stimulus is removed after the behaviour has been performed and the likelihood of that behaviour being repeated in the future increases
A positive (pleasant) stimulus is administered after the behaviour has been performed and the likelihood of that behaviour being repeated in the future increases
A positive (pleasant) stimulus is removed after the behavior has been performed and the likelihood of that behaviour being repeated in the future increases
