  • Wow, look at all the comments!

    First, review -

    "positive" == addition of something;

    "negative" == removal of something;

    "reinforcement" == to increase behaviour;

    "punishment" == to decrease behaviour.

    The way I used it was, she wanted to INCREASE Chris doing his homework, so she REMOVED TV to do it.

    If you see it as, she wanted to DECREASE his -not- doing his homework, thus it's punishment, you're still right! I just didn't want to use the double negative! ;)

  • It's also said as "towards or away". Some learners respond to getting praise and others respond to doing thing as to avoid punishment. There are students in my class who will not respond to extrinsic rewards positive, only respond to aversion of punishment.

  • Negative Reinforcement is removing a punishment or a stimulus that causes punishment or discomfort. Eg: u get shocked every time u don't press a button. So u learn to push it, so u don't get shocked.

    It's basically doing something to avoid punishment.

  • The music irritates me...

  • omg this is wrong!! people always confuse negative reinforcement with negative punishment.... lol

  • Loving the B.F. Skinner theory put into video examples!

  • yea, negative reinforcment would take away a BAD thing, such as, MOTHER: oh good grades! ill do the dishes tonight, not you!

  • also it all depends if gumble and gumble was a sucky tv show

  • ito urdumbfoo,yes it is NP

  • The second is Positive Punishment. She takes away a pleasurable thing, thus punishing Peter

  • The behavior being decreased was not doing homework

  • The negative reinforcement is wrong

    N-R: is removing a punishment ex. The stoping of a shock when an action is done

    Or removal of a grounding when homework is done

    The example in the video is negative punishment : adding a punishment to decrease a behavior

  • Negative reinforcement example Ex. since you guys ran the drill right the first time, you don;t have to run the 5 laps after practice.

  • Comment removed

  • Negative reinforcement and negative punishment are the same things! How can you positively punish someone?

  • @geeuphorsey they aren't the same thing. negative reinforcement means reinforcing a behaviour by taking something aversive away, eg if there is a loud painful noise and you turn down the volume by pressing a button, that reinforces the behaviour of pressing the button. Negative punishment is trying to stop a behaviour by taking something nice away, eg if a child starts screaming you take her lollipop away. positive punishment is introducing an aversion, such as a smack.

  • what if George Wang and Ashley Redman made a baby?

  • This is a great idea but the second one is incorrect, it is negative PUNISHMENT: Something rewarding (TV) was taken away to reduce the occurrence of a behavior (getting bad grades).

    Negative reinforcement is when an aversive is applied and then eliminated to increase the occurrence of a behavior. To apply it to this scenario, Lois would scold Chris (adding an aversive) until he starts to study and then stop scolding him to increase the occurance of him studying (to avoid her scolding.)

  • Is having to strain to hear what the cartoons are saying, negative reinforcement to not play any more videos from FlareyWorks?

  • @metallicstucco nope, it would be negative punishment. you take away something good (e.g. the ability to understand) to decrease the behaviour (of watching more videos here)

  • @JulixHartley Okay you get that concept. But you flunked on the concept of a sarcastic joke in the form of a rhetorical question.

  • @metallicstucco Not really, unless you're trying to tell me you did that wrong on purpose... which I don't think would be very good sarkasm... too subtle, since most people don't get the concept. All I'm saying is that imho it would have been funnier using the correct aspect of Operant Conditioning.

  • @JulixHartley If you're going to lecture me, start off with spelling sarcasm correctly.

  • @metallicstucco I'm sorry that you think I was lecturing you. I thought we were having a discussion... obviously not. And sorry that I don't spell-check every f*ing word I use - I think for being German I'm doing quite OK spelling wise. Since you aren't perceiving this as a discussion, I'm going to "stop lecturing" now and won't respond. I will however continue to read any answers you post here.

  • Thumbs up if you saw this in your psychologi class!

  • ok so what the fucks the point of this

  • @davidfordapple its for psychology dude!

  • This is a very informative video, but I really want to murder the soundtrack with an ax.

  • i like the fact that you can find psychology in the family guy, but please for the love of god get rid of the background music!!!

  • well, no. to initially clarify the functions of reinforcement and punishment in the operant model, i like to replace the word "reinforcement" with the words "to make me happy" or "to reward my behavior and make it more likely to occur again". so, that being said, a good example of negative reinforcement would have been for lois to set up a program that rewards her child for good grades by taking away a home chore he sees as noxious. for example, if you bring home a 'b' paper or better in each

  • This video is incorrect. You have positive reinforcement correct. Negative Reinforcement however, is when you remove something that is unwanted in order to increase behavior. Such as, you were good today, so your parents give you fewer chores.

  • actually, isnt the second one negative punishment?

    since louis wanted chris to change his behavior, not encourage it

  • @urdumbfoo actually, you're right. the second one is negative punishment. Just sayin'.

  • @urdumbfoo Yes, the 2nd one is a punishment. The behavior that Lois wanted to reduce was skipping homework, losing TV being the adverse contingency.

    Now if he did the homework right away, and Lois removed herself from blocking the TV set, that would have been negative reinforcement.

  • @smawshot ... that would have been negative reinforcement MAYBE I should rather say. If he was to repeat doing his homework, then it would have been reinforcement. Until then, it is a contingency of reinforcement ..... technically speaking.

  • @urdumbfoo correct!

  • @urdumbfoo its negative because she took away the tv show until he finishes his homework

  • @urdumbfoo oops your right haha i misread what you typed :P 

  • that's awesome I hope I can remember that for the midterm not the music..

  • Punishment, weakens the behavior (getting bad grades), because a negative condition (being sent to your room for example) is introduced or experienced as a consequence of the behavior.

    Negative Reinforcement strengthens a behavior because a negative condition is stopped or avoided as a consequence of the behavior. Like taking an aspirin to take away an headache .

  • In negative reinforcement, a painful or unpleasant stimulus is removed. Examples of this would be taking a pain pill to take away pain or removing a rock from your shoe allowing you to walk without pain. Sending a child to his room for getting bad grades is an example of punishment, not negative reinforcement.

  • Negative reinforcement: taking an aspirine to "cure" your headache

  • @spindle12 Seriously right from the textbook!! :P jk

  • No. This is wrong. The example of neg reinf is actually punishment. Neg Reinf is when an aversive (undesirable) stimulus is removed after a behavior. The behavior then becomes more common. It's like a rat pushing a bar and having an electric shock removed. It's like when the teacher is going to call on someone in class so you look down and don't get called on.

  • fucking music, goddd -1

  • that music is fucking anoying!!! i can't concentrate on what this is on about because of it!

  • Do not mix up +-reinforcement and +-reward or +-punishment!!!

  • @skinnydogkew In the example with Lois she takes away tv privlages so that he will increase the time he spends doing homework. She doesnt tell him to stop being lazy she tells him to go do homework.

  • @duhdumbblonde1

    No, she's still taking away the appetitive stimulus (TV) from Chris. This example is more like response cost.

    Negative reinforcement entails the removal of a undesirable stimulus to increase a behaviour.

  • @duhdumbblonde1 taking away TV privelages in order to stimulate behavior would be more accurately defined as an operant. As she is attempting to encourage a certain behavior. Or it may also be viewed in terms of a punishment for displaying the behavior of skipping his homework (the behavior pattern she wishes to remove).

  • This is wrong, the second example with Lois is negative punishment, not negative reinforcement. Taking away a pleasurable or comforting stimulus in order to decrease the intensity and/or frequency of a behaviour. Eg: being lazy in class.

  • i have a psych test on this coming up and you made this sooo easy to understand. Thanks!

  • Good job :D
