All day long your behavior is either strengthened or weakened by hundreds of reinforcements and punishments, most of which you are completely unaware.
In Week 05 you will learn how your behavior is shaped by subtle and obvious reinforcements and punishments and how this causes you to react to your environment. Chapter 5 also includes types of thought processes, or cognition, which underlie learning.
