- Title
Inside the Teaching Machine: Integrating Attribution and Reinforcement Theories.
- Authors
McElroy, James C.
- Abstract
Attribution theory is presented as a potentially useful framework for understanding the workings of operant conditioning principles. Causal attributions for the receipt of reinforcements are posited to have a moderating effect on reinforcement predictions emanating from the law of effect. Attributios are hypothesized to explain the effects of reinforcements, the working of reinforcement schedules, and the administration of reinforcements.
