Break-out Title/Topic: Operant Conditioning Worksheet and Art Activity Resources Time
Bridge-in:

 “A failure is not always a mistake, it may simply be the best one can do under
the circumstances. The real mistake is to stop trying” – B.F. Skinner (both)

 Can anyone explain to me the definitions of: positive reinforcement… negative 2
reinforcement… positive punishment… negative punishment? Minutes
Learning Objective:
 By participating in this activity, you will learn that operant conditioning is a
learning process that occurs when an individual makes an implicit association
between a particular behavior and a consequence.

in a pleasurable activity that should reinforce your completion of the worksheet 1

 I will assess students’ knowledge of the concept, including the 4 aforementioned
terms, by assessing their speed and accuracy on the worksheet. I will also ask
mentees whether they prefer operant or classical conditioning, and why? 1
Minute
Summary:
I will debrief students on the activity and remind them that the behaviorist principle of operant conditioning
states that behavior that is followed by a favorable stimulus is likely to continue, whereas behavior that is
proceeded by an aversive stimulus is likely to cease. I will also emphasize that the goal of today was to teach
them the association between a behavior (completing the worksheet) and a positive outcome or reward
(partaking in the art activity, which is meant to pleasurable and reduce their stress). 3
