Your dog is barking loudly.
00:02
It makes your ears ring.
00:03
You clap your hands, the dog stops barking, and you think i'll have to do that when he barks again.
00:10
The end of the barking is, a, a positive reinforcer, b, a negative reinforcer, c, a positive punishment, or d, a negative punishment.
00:20
Okay, so this is open and conditioning, as discovered by skinner.
00:25
And reinforcers and punishments, it depends on if it makes you do the behaviour more or less.
00:30
Less.
00:31
So a reinforcer means you do behaviour more.
00:35
It reinforces it.
00:37
Punishment means you do the behaviour less.
00:41
So in this case, the end of the barking makes you think i will do this again...
