- Sd for systematicdesensitisation
- weaknesses
- can only explain some behaviour
- Operant conditioning
- learning through reinforcement

- something that strengthens a particular behaviour makes it more likely to occur.
- skinner rats (1938) lever= food makes action more likely -- because the rat wants more food.
- negative reinforcement = used to help teach specific behaviours
