operant conditioning and classical conditioning are both very different although both have to do with behavoir they are different because operant conditioning is the reaction that one gives naturally to a stimulus and the classical conditioning is the reaction that one wants to give to a stimulus.

Punishment

many things can go wrong with punishment:

1. You are never taught the good things that we have to do.

2. for examples animals relate all things to their punishment and so do children who want attention and will do whatever it takes for it and sometimes this means getting punished.

3. there is no second chance, this means that you did something wrong and they punish you but they dont give you another chance to change.

4. Getting punished you understand who are the ones who punish you and you will learn that in front of them you cant behave badly and so you will become sneeky.

Operant conditiong

Is the use of a punishment for a type of behavoir whether its bad or good. There are many ways we act towards different behavoirs the first type would be reinforcement this causes the behavoir to happen more often. The second one is Punishment, punishment makes the behavoir occur less. And the third extintion which is the lack of concequence.

Positive and Negative reinforcement and pos and neg punishment are a bit confusing, you must refer to the as plus and minus rather than bad or good.

Pos Re: when you give any type of reenforcement.

Neg Re:when you take away a reenforcement.

PosPu:when yoou give them a punishment.

NegPu:when you take away a punishment.

B.F Skinner

B. F Skinner was an American Psychologist, author, inventor, poet and advocate for social reform. He was a professor of psyhology in Harvard. He came up woth the operant conditioning chamber, and inovated his own philosphy of science called radical behavoirism. He also founded a school for the research of experimental psychology. Which helped him later in with his verbal behavoir. He invented the cumulative recorder. Throughout his life ehe published 180 articles and 21 books.

Radical Behavorism is when you try to reenforce concequences, this helped shape behavoir. The way this behavoir was being reinforced was by two ways both positive and negatively reenforced.

Personality psychology is a branch of psychology that studies personality and individual differences. Its areas of focus include:

• Constructing a coherent picture of a person and his or her major psychological processes ^[1]
  
• Investigating individual differences, that is, how people can differ from one another.
  
• Investigating human nature, that is, how all people's behaviour is similar.

Personality can be defined as a dynamic and organized set of characteristics possessed by a person that influence everything they do in situations.

PERSONALITY: identifies the person, it has a past in the history of psychology with theoretic traditions.

The personality for me is someting that we learned this i can see because of the experiment of my dear friend John B Watson with behaviorism, he tried to proove that we were not born with fears we learn them, so i can conclude that our personality is simething we learn due to our surroundings.

Ivan Pavlov

Ivan Pavlov

Born: September 14, 1849
Died: 1936
He studied Medicine in Russia and Germany. He made an experiment called Pavlovs Dog. In which he was studying The digestive system. In 1889 Pavlov began experiments with dogs that proved their reflexes could be conditioned by external stimuli. Specifically, after they were conditioned by the ringing of a bell at feeding time, they would reflexively salivate upon hearing the bell, whether or not food was present. In 1904 he won the Nobel Prize for his work on digestive physiology, but he is most widely known today as an early influence on behavioral psychology.
