Definition of operant in English: operantadjective ˈɒp(ə)r(ə)ntˈäpərənt Psychology Involving the modification of behaviour by the reinforcing or inhibiting effect of its own consequences. 操作性的 Example sentencesExamples - Rule-governed behavior is operant behavior in which discriminative control or other behavioral influence does come from verbal antecedents.
- In education these operant techniques include token economies, contingency contracting, behavior modification, and various forms of programmed instruction.
- Historically, there has been an emphasis on behavioral, operant techniques to control the behavior of learning disabled and emotionally handicapped students.
- Although its influence on the behavior modification procedures relatable to operant formulations has been negligible, Skinner has attempted to define the term.
- Positive induction occurs when the rate of operant behavior in one situation varies directly, rather than inversely, with the conditions of reinforcement in another component.
noun ˈɒp(ə)r(ə)ntˈäpərənt Psychology An item of behaviour that is not a response to a prior stimulus but something which is initially spontaneous, which may reinforce or inhibit recurrence of that behaviour. 操作性行为 Example sentencesExamples - Consider instruction designed to teach students the aforementioned distinction between operants and respondents.
- Such analysis of available alternatives suggests that many behavior patterns society finds disruptive and labels pathological are not maladjusted or maladaptive, but are highly successful operants.
- A simple answer is that the verbal behaviors of a patient or subject do not cease to be operants, governed by all the variables involved in operant behavior, when the person becomes a patient or an experimental subject.
- Of course, measuring the antecedent event in addition to all components of the behavioral operant, as well as conducting intervention research in the natural setting, presents many challenges for researchers.
- Due to measurement issues, however, it may be difficult to generalize the findings of this research without knowing which component of the operant was responsible for the changes in the challenging behavior.
OriginLate Middle English: from Latin operant- 'being at work', from the verb operari.
