Psychology
Operant Conditioning
In this Class 11 Psychology topic from the chapter Learning, students explore how behaviour is shaped by its consequences. They learn B. F. Skinner’s explanation of operant conditioning, including reinforcement, punishment, positive and negative consequences, shaping, and the role of reinforcement schedules. The topic helps students distinguish voluntary behaviour from reflexive responses and understand how everyday habits, classroom learning, and behaviour change can be explained through psychological principles.
