What part of operant conditioning which “has been debunked” are you referring to? At its core I believe it’s true and have understood it in my life and as a parent with children in all steps of their development
@@Yayieglocal Skinners students went off and studied animal behavior...they learn that conditioning produces the expected result up to a point...then instinct takes over. So people that were literally disciples of Skinner disproved the theory. The other problem is that if we are only concerned with external results we totally ignore the potential internal damage to the human beings involved.
Hi Adam - Glad you are enjoying the videos. I hope the following helps in relation to the question you asked about: For this question you need to describe how Skinner studied reinforcement, so you could describe the Skinner box and some of the ways the different types of reinforcement were studied. An answer might look like this: Skinner created a highly controlled setting to carefully study the effects of reinforcement and punishment on the behaviour of animals, particularly on rats. This became known as the Skinner box. In this setup rats were placed in a box that contained various things including a lever, a food dispenser and an electric grid. In one condition Skinner wanted to see how quickly the rats would learn to press a lever. To do this whenever they pressed the lever a good pellet would be released (positive reinforcement). In other conditions, an electric shock was turned on and the rats had to press the lever to take away the painful shock (negative reinforcement).
I’m a 15 year old autist who has been pondering about these dynamics for a while. It really helps to grasp them as existing concepts instead of theories👍🏻 Amazing work
Yes it is! If you are interested you want to check out the work of the Nudge Unit set up by the Government to bring about behavioural changes. See the following: www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/mar/13/why-is-the-government-relying-on-nudge-theory-to-tackle-coronavirus www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2022/01/28/grossly-unethical-downing-street-nudge-unit-accused-scaring/ www.instituteforgovernment.org.uk/article/explainer/nudge-unit Maybe a future video idea - what do you think?
Cheers Cha0sPretzel! Glad you like the test at the end - good to get some feedback on whether you're finding it helpful - i'll make sure to include more in future videos. And thanks for sharing the channel with others 👍👍👍
@@BearitinMIND sir currently I am an ug bsc.psychology student and definitely your videos are my best companions during my journey of learning and understanding psychology!! Thank you so much 😊🙏🏿
I presume you are referring to the last practice question on the video and number 4? It's "fixed" because the parent rewards their child "every time". Reinforcement is given after a fixed number of times (in this case, 1). The number required to gain the reward stays the same each time (every time they go to the potty). Hope that makes sense :)
that example has quite the cynical view, a different view could be that people want to share their joy with others and instagram is a tool for that, and obviously receiving validation under any circumstances is a pleasant experience
I hear you - however the designers behind Facebook/Instagram/Meta have been very open and how principles of Behaviourism have been very effectively used, applied and refined to capture as much attention as possible. For example check out The Social Dilemma documentary on Netflix, or read something like this: www.theguardian.com/technology/2018/may/08/social-media-copies-gambling-methods-to-create-psychological-cravings OR journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/0306422018800245 OR www.economist.com/1843/2016/10/20/the-scientists-who-make-apps-addictive
@@iPostiPodiEatiYuripeople want to share bc they want validation.. even if they don’t realize that’s what they want. It’s what’s happening. People lived a long time without the ability to share every experience with everyone they know and believe it or not, they were much happier.
Please could you explain what type of research methods are in paper 2, i'm doing a retake so im not quite sure what people mean when they say the research methods section in paper 2
Hi x Arii x - If i'm understanding your comment correctly, the best place for you to look at what it meant by "Research Methods Paper 2" is to FIRSTLY click on the following link and take a look at a past exam paper - select an A-level Paper 2 - then scroll down to section C: www.aqa.org.uk/subjects/psychology/as-and-a-level/psychology-7181-7182/assessment-resources
SECONDLY, to exactly what you need to know for "Research Methods Paper 2" click on this link and scroll down to the section titled "Research Methods" - which includes the bullet points directly below it and the points underneath the sections called 'Scientific Processes' and 'Data analysis' www.aqa.org.uk/subjects/psychology/as-and-a-level/psychology-7181-7182/subject-content-as/psychology-in-context
Great explanation 👍. I have read Skinner's book "Behavior of Organisms", but nowhere in his book does he say anything about punishment, he only talks about positive and negative reinforcement. Did Skinner add positive and negative punishment in another book?
Thank you so much I'm able to find the relevant information now.Evaluate it and what's so great I'm getting the source from Google Scholar so I'm able to reference clearly my work.🤸♀️🤼♀️🤸♀️💯🙏🙏🙏
Behaviorism has been debunked over and over again. Some of which was done by hus own students. Why does this keep coming back?
doesn’t matter if it’s useless, i’ve still gotta study it at A- level that’s why i’m here 🤣

How would I answer the question: 'Outline Skinner's research into reinforcement' for 3 marks? Thank you for you wonderful videos!!

Isn't the way people acted during the pandemic and how they accepted new rules etc isn't that operative conditioning
