-We've been learning about learning in psychology (i wasn't going to say that but then i had to), more specificaly about reinforcers, how they're needed for learning. An interesting thing in the Bobo doll experiments is that no consequences results in the same way as a positive reinforcer, that esperiment has to do with modeling but i think it could be applied more generally- If there is no negative reinforcer for an action then you don't have an urge to stop it (i think i'm using the terms wrong, but the idea is there)
-I'm talkig to my sister (becca) right now. and we were discusing stuff, i can't really go into much detail because it's her private life... but.. we kind of came to this conclusion. -If you forgive a person too easily then they are more likely to repeat it because there were no consequences, which is why forgiving right away isn't always the best thing to do.
-Yeah, i was trying to put that idea into words a while ago...or something like that. and thought that i would post it here for some reason. Now i have to get back to writting my paper because i was actually focused.
- by the way the title doen't have to do with a reinforcer it's just something else we mentioned.
