learning
A systematic, relatively permanent change in behavior that occurs through experience. Which of the following occur when a response is followed by experiencing something pleasurable?In positive reinforcement, a response is followed by the presentation of a pleasurable stimulus, whereas in negative reinforcement, a response is followed by the removal or avoidance of an unpleasant stimulus.
What is an effect of a pleasurable consequence in operant conditioning?Based on this research, Thorndike developed the law of effect: If an action is followed by a pleasurable consequence, it will tend to be repeated. If an action is followed by an unpleasant consequence, it will tend not to be repeated (Thorndike, 1911). This is the basic principle behind learning voluntary behavior.
When a behavior is repeated after a pleasant consequence it is called?In operant conditioning, organisms learn to associate a behavior and its consequence (Table 1). A pleasant consequence makes that behavior more likely to be repeated in the future.
What states that a behaviour followed by a pleasurable consequence is likely to be repeated?Edward Thorndike put forward a “Law of effect” which stated that any behavior that is followed by pleasant consequences is likely to be repeated, and any behavior followed by unpleasant consequences is likely to be stopped.
