Ch 9 Unlearned Aversive

Front 1

Unlearned reinforcer

Back 1

-A stimulus, event, or condition that is a reinforcer,
-though not as a result of pairing with another reinforcer

Front 2

Unlearned aversive condition:

Back 2

-A stimulus, event, or condition that is aversive,
-though not as a result of pairing with other aversive conditions

Front 3

Deprivation

Back 3

-Withholding a reinforcer
-increases relevant learning and performance

Front 4

Increases relevant learning of what?

Back 4

The learning of a response reinforced by that reinforcer.

Front 5

Increases performance of what?

Back 5

The performance of a response previously reinforced by that reinforcer.

Front 6

Learning

Back 6

Deprivation at the time of reinforcement increases the impact the delivery of a single reinforcer has on the subsequent frequency of the reinforced response

Front 7

Performance

Back 7

Deprivation at the time to perform that response increases the frequency of that previously reinforced and thus previously learned response

Front 8

Satiation

Back 8

-Consuming a substantial amount of reinforcer
-temporarily decreases relevant learning and performance

Front 9

The Establishing Operation

Back 9

-A procedure or condition that affects learning and performance
-with respect to a particular reinforcer or aversive condition

Front 10

Examples of establishing operations

Back 10

-deprivation
-satiation
-heavy exercise
-high temp
-consumption of salt

Front 11

What shouldn't you say?

Back 11

Don't say "knows"

Front 12

Point of diminishing returns

Back 12

Further increases in the amount of the reinforcers don't produce much of an increase in the amount of learning

Front 13

Quality

Back 13

Quality of a reinforcer can be an important feature in how that reinforcer will affect learning and performance

Front 14

What don't satiation and deprivation apply to?

Back 14

Aversive conditions such as electric shock in an escape condition

Front 15

What are examples of unlearned reinforcers?

Back 15

Visual change, sound, taste

Front 16

What are the two types of unlearned reinforcers?

Back 16

a) Those that directly cause biological benefits
b) Those that indirectly cause biological benefits

Front 17

What are the two types of unlearned aversive stimuli?

Back 17

a) Those that directly cause biological harm
b) Those that indirectly cause biological harm

Front 18

Premack Principle

Back 18

-If one activity occurs more often than another,
-the opportunity to do the most frequent activity
-will reinforce the less frequent activity

Front 19

What does the Premack principle talk about instead of reinforcing events?

Back 19

Reinforcing behavior
