This theory says that with the reinforcers, people make expectations, which can be good or also bad. E.g. when you study rely hard for an exam, and you obtain a good grade, you are sure that for the next time will happen the same. Or when you make a homework of too many pages and you didn't sleep because you were finishing it, and the grade you receive is not the one you expected, you start to not taking care of that subject.
Also this theory says that by Modeling, which is copying the behavior of other someone learn. Everyday examples would be to write, or to talk, or learn to make a mathematical problem. You start to make what you see.
