October 14, 2009 by cw Training Humans with Chocolate! Check it out. Positive reinforcement training goes mainstream on the sitcom The Big Bang Theory. Here’s a scene where Sheldon is trying to modify the annoying habits of Leonard’s new girlfriend and neighbor Penny. The scene continues. Nothing like a little operant conditioning humor! -cw AdvertisementShare this:TwitterFacebookLike this:Like Loading... Related
Wow! That’s absolutely hilarious! I’m going to have to forward it to a few people. In all seriousness, though, positive reinforcement works a lot better than negative reinforcement on people too. It isn’t just for animals. 😛 Programs like tagTeach are even experimenting with the benefits of using a marker signal with humans.
