Operant conditioning is a method of learning that occurs through rewards and punishments for behavior. In other words, a response followed by a reinforcing stimulus is more likely to occur again. Operant conditioning has been studied by many behaviorists. BF Skinner is a well-known behaviorist who showed, through animal experiments, that consequences play an important role in their behavior. A famous example from his experiment is when a rat pulls a lever to receive food. As a result, the rate will pull the lever more frequently. Before proceeding to describe operant conditioning, it is important to become familiar with the terms reinforce and reinforce. Reinforcers are those stimuli that increase the chance that the response behavior will occur again. Different stimuli have an effect on different individuals. Reinforcement is the act that is followed by a response with a reinforcer. There are different categories of reinforcement, which will be described after differentiating between operant conditioning and classical conditioning. Classical conditioning consists of associating a natural stimulus with a neutral stimulus. A famous example is Ivan Pavlov's dog experiment. Pavlov observed that whenever the dog sees food, it begins to salivate. Pavlov tried to associate food with a bell. Before Pavlov shows the food, he rings a bell. Dogs begin to connect these two objects, namely the bell and the food. After a while, the dog even begins to salivate just by hearing the bell. So classical conditioning is not the same thing as operant conditioning. Thus, classical conditioning occurs when the individual's act is passive while the response is involuntary. For operant conditioning, the individual's act is active and the respondent...... middle of paper ...... does not get in trouble with the teacher the next day. By eliminating undesirable outcomes, this preventative behavior is more likely to recur. Thus, positive and negative reinforcement reinforce behavior, in which the positive reinforcement stimulus is present and the negative reinforcement stimulus is removed. The final type of reinforcement is punishment. Punishment diminishes the response. For example, a teacher gives homework to a student for bad behavior, which gives an unpleasant stimulus or, by removing the pleasant stimulus, a student loses certain privileges on certain days because he did not complete his homework. Among all these types of punishment, punishment is less effective than positive and negative reinforcement. Therefore, positive and negative reinforcement should be used in the safety analysis process. Now let's move on to the last theory, which is role modeling..
