PHYSIOLOGY OF EMOTIONS FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF A THEORY OF OPERANT BEHAVIORISM

Abstract

Introduction: Operant Behaviorism modifies behavior, via the frequency and intensity of a new behavior or response to the same stimulus, a boost in learning. Objectives: Determine the process of emotions the perspective of operant Behaviorism. Methodology: bibliographical documentary research type transversal, descriptive, retrospective, which collected information from different research carried out in the past three years in the databases is used: Scielo, Scopus, Dialnet, Redalyc, Google Scholar. Web on Science. WOS; results of the various types of analyses in each of them, including exploratory, descriptive and correlational type to draw conclusions with a margin of error at least through a triangulation of data were taken. Results: It was confirmed that emotions have a physiological effect in the change of behaviour, by means of the operant conditioning. Conclusions: Behaviorism used positive or negative reinforcers to eliminate features of erratic behaviors, or at the same time reaffirming a positive behavior. Without ruling out that there is a physiological process, which can determine a machine learning, without participation of the will of the subject in research. The capacity for analysis and synthesis, along with the possibility of developing skills resolvent disappears.
