    Anna's Behavior (Operant)

    Uploaded by

    Daniel Gitau
    Ana's behavior has been influenced by operant conditioning and social learning theory according to the document. Specifically, Ana demonstrates behaviors that have been shaped by positive reinforcement through rewards from Kat, as well as positive and negative punishment in response to her actions. Ana has also learned behaviors by observing those around her as described by social learning theory. Classical conditioning also influences Ana's behavior, as she has formed an association between the rehab center and her father's injury.

    Using examples from the case-specific resources (e.g.

    , video consultation with intake

    worker), identify how Ana's behaviour has been, or is being, influenced by operant

    conditioning and social learning theory. In what specific ways are these learning principles

    influencing Ana's behaviour? Your answer should be supported with evidence from the

    literature.

    Ana's conduct has been affected by learning and accordingly has become sensitive and

    aggressive. Ana's behavior has been influenced by her surrounding environment as she has

    learned most of her behaviors from the people in her immediate surrounding environment.

    Social learning

    Social learning theory is made up of personal factors, behavioral factors, and environmental

    factors. All three factors interact with each other to influence how an individual behaves

    (Eriksson et al., 2019).

    Classical conditioning

    Forming associations among stimuli. Ana reacts to the smell of the rehab center as it is a

    reminder of her dad's injury

    Operant conditioning

    Under this conditioning, learning is a result of the consequences of the individual’s behavior.

    • Ana demonstrates desired behavior therefore Kat rewards her with chocolate (Positive

    reinforcement)

    • Positive punishment is expressed when is yelled at and hit by Kat when she is naughty, but as

    soon as she cries and becomes upset she comforts her.

    • Negative punishment is expressed when Chris takes away Ana’s doll for her not

    acknowledging the social worker.


    • Kat smacked Ana when she didn't wear her eye patch (negative punishment) (Bouton &

    Balleine, 2019).

    Identify two factors from the case-specific resources that may be contributing to Kat's

    memory difficulties

    The expanded emotional attachment of Ana is a problem for Kat since she can't leave Ana

    without causing an aggravation which brings about Kat being behind schedule for work or

    incapable to go to desired meetings (Buultjens M. and Buultjens, 2016). This is expressed in the

    story that she was late because of Ana not getting inside the vehicle to go to the meeting. Ana's

    conduct additionally adds pressure towards Kat. Compelling her to discipline Ana prevent an

    escalation of the situation in which the assistant is making a divide between both Chris and Kat

    on how they need to teach Ana.
