Operant Conditioning



 Operant conditioning theory consists of positive punishment, positive reinforcement, negative punishment, and negative reinforcement. Reinforcers increase behavior while punishment decreases behavior. The positive reinforcement is the highlight of the post. Positive reinforcements basically reward good behavior. For example, training a dog to do simple tricks like giving paw or sitting down would result in the dog getting a treat. Another positive reinforcement would be studying for a test which results in good grades. I remember in elementary school teachers would give out candy or stickers for good behavior.

  1. Positive reinforcement is super effective. I use it with my puppy whom I have trained to do basic commands like sit, and harder commands like stay and heel, with the use of treats as a positive reward. I have even taught him how to use buttons to communicate by using positive reinforcement! It is very easy and just requires patience and repetition.

  2. Upload a CAD file to the Xometry Instant Quoting Engine℠ to get a price, lead time, and design-for-manufacturability feedback on your customized CNC elements. Our fast CNC machining capabilities include providers for metals and plastics and flexible production and delivery options to meet you at the good price and product development stage. However, a CNC device with high backlash and a dull chopping tool can lead to cutter chatter and potential workpiece gouging. The backlash also affects the precision of some operations involving axis movement reversals precision machining during chopping, such because the milling of a circle, where axis movement is sinusoidal.
