Visceral Muscles being controlled by Operant Conditioning:
|
rats give curare to paralyze their skeletal muscles, not visceral. Used ESB (electrial stimulation of brain) as reinforcer. Shaped the heart rate.
|
|
|
Biofeedback?
|
any procedure designed to supply the individual with amplified feed back about some bodily process
ex. control muscle tension in forehead by EMG feedback that monitor muscle tension and translate it to clicks |

|
Need Reduction Theory=
|
all primary reinforcers are stimuli that reduce some biological need
problem: saccharin or sex. Vitamin B is essential but not a reinforcer |
|
|
Drive Reduction Theory=
|
strong stimulation of any sort is aversive - any reduction of this stimulus acts as a reinforcer
problem: temp. drop, rats will continue to work hard to find the female in heat even if they only mount. |
|
|
Trans-situationality=
|
a stimulus that is determined to be a reinforcer in one situation will also be a reinforcer in other situations
not always true |
|
|
Premack's Principle=
|
more probable behaviors will reinforce less probable behaviors.
more probable behaviors determined by what the subject performed for a larger fraction of time in baseline session |
|
|
Functional Analysis=
|
a method that allows the therapist to determine what reinforcer is maintaining the unwanted behavior
