Unlearned reinforcer
|
-A stimulus, event, or condition that is a reinforcer,
-though not as a result of pairing with another reinforcer |
|
Unlearned aversive condition:
|
-A stimulus, event, or condition that is aversive,
-though not as a result of pairing with other aversive conditions |
|
Deprivation
|
-Withholding a reinforcer
-increases relevant learning and performance |
|
Increases relevant learning of what?
|
The learning of a response reinforced by that reinforcer.
|
|
Increases performance of what?
|
The performance of a response previously reinforced by that reinforcer.
|
|
Learning
|
Deprivation at the time of reinforcement increases the impact the delivery of a single reinforcer has on the subsequent frequency of the reinforced response
|
|
Performance
|
Deprivation at the time to perform that response increases the frequency of that previously reinforced and thus previously learned response
|
|
Satiation
|
-Consuming a substantial amount of reinforcer
-temporarily decreases relevant learning and performance |
|
The Establishing Operation
|
-A procedure or condition that affects learning and performance
-with respect to a particular reinforcer or aversive condition |
|
Examples of establishing operations
|
-deprivation
-satiation -heavy exercise -high temp -consumption of salt |
|
What shouldn't you say?
|
Don't say "knows"
|
|
Point of diminishing returns
|
Further increases in the amount of the reinforcers don't produce much of an increase in the amount of learning
|
|
Quality
|
Quality of a reinforcer can be an important feature in how that reinforcer will affect learning and performance
|
|
What don't satiation and deprivation apply to?
|
Aversive conditions such as electric shock in an escape condition
|
|
What are examples of unlearned reinforcers?
|
Visual change, sound, taste
|
|
What are the two types of unlearned reinforcers?
|
a) Those that directly cause biological benefits
b) Those that indirectly cause biological benefits |
|
What are the two types of unlearned aversive stimuli?
|
a) Those that directly cause biological harm
b) Those that indirectly cause biological harm |
|
Premack Principle
|
-If one activity occurs more often than another,
-the opportunity to do the most frequent activity -will reinforce the less frequent activity |
|
What does the Premack principle talk about instead of reinforcing events?
|
Reinforcing behavior
