This question asks us about the language theory that is characterized by its key point in reinforcement and the role that partial reinforcement will play in language development.
00:17
So when we hear preferential reinforcement or reinforcement in general, we should immediately associate this with operant conditioning.
00:33
Which is key in behaviorism.
00:38
And of course, behaviorism is associated with bf skinner, right? the skinner box, the different mechanisms and experiments set up to test operant conditioning and behaviorism in different model organisms.
01:00
So in rats, the skinner box was used to find if they would, accept these reinforcement techniques in terms of their conditioning.
01:12
So, and it was found that, yes, reinforcement does play a very important role in conditioning, and it actually is going to be one of the two most prominent theories of conditioning.
01:21
There's the classical conditioning, and there's the operant conditioning.
01:25
One involves the unconditioned stimulus and the condition stimulus forming association, whereas here we have reinforcement or punishment being used to achieve a desired behavior or perhaps to decrease the likelihood of a particular behavior from being exhibited...
