0 involving changes in behaviour that are caused because good or bad things always happen in connection with the behaviour:
Genes play very different roles in operant behavior and the immune system.
Differential reinforcement through a process of successive approximation shapes behavioral operant response classes from this population of behavioral variants.
It suggests that nervous system activities are part of the world to be explained by a selectionist theory of operant learning.
As a final comment, operant procedures have competed well in the marketplace of practical applications.
Second, although it is obvious that learning about painful experiences has survival value, not all pain behaviour results from operant reinforcement schedules.
As described in the first section of this article, operant mechanisms act on unconditioned pain behaviours.
Reference to "stimuli" in the commentaries virtually always pertained to antecedent stimulation (not the stimulation involved in operant consequences).
Structures that mediate operant conditioning are flexible structures that adjust their output in response to contingencies in current environments.
