Operant Conditioning: Behavior & Consequences (Intro Psych Tutorial #62)

In this video I explain the difference between classical conditioning and operant conditioning. Next I explain Thorndike's work with cats in puzzle boxes which led to his Law of Effect. This approach was greatly expanded by B.F. Skinner's work on operant conditioning which distinguished primary and secondary reinforcers, as well as positive and negative reinforcement and positive and negative punishment.
