Assignment
1. Make sure you read the chapter in the book FIRST regarding operant conditioning AND watch this youtube video "Operant conditioning". BEFORE you do this activity. This will help you understand the task better. If you cannot click on the link, copy and paste into your browser.
2. Go to the given link. (There are no instructions other than to select option 1, 2, or 3. It is up to you to figure out how to get things to happen. Some of the things you may encounter are "virtual candy" and noises. Make sure your speakers are on.) If you have any problems accessing the skinner box, try right clicking in the box and then click play. Also, use the regular number keys above the letters on your keyboard and not the keypad.
3. What principles of operant conditioning did the activity use (positive or negative reinforcement or positive or negative punishment)? Discuss your experiences with the activity (how did you figure it out, etc.). (Warning.. you need to stick with the activity. It can be tricky to figure out, but don't give up! Stating you could not figure it out or that it didn't work will not provide credit for the assignment) :)
4. Think of a real-life example of operant conditioning (perhaps one you experienced or used on someone else, do not use reality shows or television shows as examples). Describe the example and identify which principle of operant conditioning was used.
The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
