Weekly Assignment #3
Today in class we talked about Operant Conditioning. When talking about operant conditioning we discussed types of reinforcement. There are positive and negative reinforcers. Negative reinforcers are when you take away an undesired stimulus. I can relate to this in class material because the other week I experienced a negative reinforcer. I had a bad headache and my mom gave me some medicine to take away the pain. The medicine was the negative reinforces because it took away the undesired headache.

I can relate because once i hurried home in the winter to get out of the cold! This was a negitive reinforcer because i hurried home to escape the unwanted stimulus, which is the cold!
