Biocalculus: Calculus for the Life Sciences1st EditionDay, Stewart 5,056 solutions When a behavior is repeated less frequently because of the consequences that followed it?According to the law of effect, behaviors that are followed by consequences that are satisfying to the organism are more likely to be repeated, and behaviors that are followed by unpleasant consequences are less likely to be repeated (Thorndike, 1911).
What are the consequences that weaken behavior called?Reinforcement, either positive or negative, works by increasing the likelihood of a behaviour. Punishment, on the other hand, refers to any event that weakens or reduces the likelihood of a behaviour.
What types of behaviors are influenced by their consequences?Terms in this set (75). Operant behaviors are influenced by their consequences.. elicited behavior is a function of what precedes it, operant behavior is a function of what follows it.. Another name for operant conditioning is intrumental conditioning.. What happens when a consequence makes a behavior less likely to occur?Punishment is a process by which a consequence immediately follows a behavior which decreases the future frequency of that behavior. Like reinforcement, a stimulus can be added (positive punishment) or removed (negative punishment).
