For this discussion board think about how operant conditioning has been use in your life. If you have children you have used the principles of operant conditioning. Your parents used it on you. If you have ever trained a dog (or other animal) you probably used Skinner's technique of "shaping" even if you didn't know you were.

For this discussion think of where you have used operant conditioning or have been the recipient of its use. Describe in detail the experience involving operant conditioning and which principles were involved. For example, where did you receive or give positive or negative reinforcement or punishment? Which principles did you use to train your dog to sit (if you did)? You can choose any event to discuss that you want.
