SPCE 609 QUIZ 2 SIMPLIFIED
REVISION SUMMARY
Charlie Fester
-studied SOF with Skinner
-comprehensive description of the behavior generated by diff
schedules of reinforcement
Operant Behavior
-sometimes described as intentional, free, voluntary or willful
- behavior that operates on the environment
-defined by the consequences they produce
Discriminative Stimuli (SD)
-Sets the occasion for SR of an operant.
-Stimuli in the presence of which responding is likely to be
reinforced
-not defined by physical measures
contingencies of reinforcement
-defines the relationship among the events that set the
occasion for behavior, the operant class, and consequences that
follow operant behavior
-the occurrence of rewards or punishments following particular
behaviors
- SD: R-> SR+
,____________ that follow operant behavior establish control
exerted by discriminative stimulis.
consequences
chunking
high brain activity before cue
low brain activity during routine
high brain activity at the reward
indicative of automatic behavioral routine/habit
Behavior-Consequence-Learning (BCL)
learning about the consequence's of one's behavior
Stimulus-Relation-Learning
learning about the stimuli that predict reinforcement
Four Basic Contingencies of Reinforcement
Positive Reinforcement
Negative Reinforcement
Positive Punishment
Negative Punishment
How to Identify a Reinforcing Stimulis
-must increase behavior
Premack Principle
, -A higher frequency behavior will function as reinforcement for
a lower frequency behavior
-Behavior (operant) -> Behavior (Sr)
-contingency between two sets of behaviors
Response heirarchy
-with regards to responses within a response class
-refers to order/likelihood of the response forms in the class
based on response properties (effort) or probability of
reinforcement in a given situation
Response deprivation
occurs when access to the contingent behavior is restricted and
falls below its baseline (or free-choice) level of occurrence
Equilibrium analysis
distinction between instrumental and contingent response
Instrumental Response
behavior produces the opportunity to engage in some activity
contingent resposne
the activity obtained by making the instrumental response
response deprivation hypothesis
when a contingency is set between the instrumental and
contingent responses, equilibrium is disturbed
operant conditioning
