A busy person's guide to Operant Conditioning

Positive Reinforcement, Negative Reinforcement, Positive Punishment and Negative Reinforcement: You may have heard these terms thrown around, but they're often misused or little understood. Together, they describe four different ways all animals learn by consequences-- aka, Operant Conditioning. In a rush to put up a podcast episode while her young baby naps, Annie challenges herself to describe each "quadrant" of Operant Conditioning in two and a half minutes.  Notes:  Phoebe controls the TV with her eyes  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMQfFIJU_HoOperant conditioning explained in Little Golden Books https://anniegrossman.com/2012/03/training/punishment-reinforcement-in-little-golden-books-92902/6672/Operant conditioning explained on The Big Bang Theory Being https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5XUvm_smWHYBF Skinner's Daughter http://anniegrossman.com/2018/08/podcast/podcast-episode-21-bf-skinners-daughter-deborah-buzan-dispels-myths/9722/6 ways in which dogs and humans are exactly alike  https://anniegrossman.com/2018/04/science/6-ways-dogs-humans-exactly-alike/9419/A dog trainer's view of evolution http://anniegrossman.com/2018/04/science/dog-trainers-view-evolution/9438/Episode 42: Let's talk about dog breeding with Cherrie Mahon https://www.schoolforthedogs.com/podcasts/lets-talk-about-dog-breeding-with-cherrie-mahon-of-river-valley-doodles/Episode 44: Are you talking to your socks?
