AB541: Concepts & Principles II Reading Check (5 pts) Unit 7 Student: Crishtine Sundar Readings: Pierce & Cheney (2017)- Chapter 8: Stimulus Control Dinsmoor (1995a) Instructions: Answer each question based on the assigned reading in your own words. The purpose of this is to think about the purpose of the reading, rather than to regurgitate a summary. Pierce & Cheney (2017)- Chapter 8: Stimulus Control 1. Explain how multiple schedules result in stimulus control. What is the behavioral product of multiple schedules? (1 pt) Multiple schedules are frequently used when trying to display stimulus control. Multiple reinforcement schedules whereby two or more basic schedules are shown consecutively on multiple schedules, and a different regulating stimulus accompanies each schedule. This allows for behavioral changes when either an SD or an SΔ is presented. A differential response develops when the discrimination training continues. With that said, prompt acquisition and accurate discrimination occur when the difference between SD and SΔ is increased. 2. Define & give examples of absolute vs. relative stimulus control: (1 pt) Absolute stimulus control can be defined as control whereby reinforcement procedures are used instead of extinction, leading to the highest probability of response to a stimulus used in training. With relative stimulus control, however, the individual would respond to the differences between the various stimuli presented. Dinsmoor (1995a) 1. How did Skinner distinguish between what we now call respondent and operant conditioning? What did he call them? (1 pt) He called them Type S- Elicited and Type R- Emitted conditioning. Type S conditioning is classical conditioning (respondent) like Pavlov's, and the magnitude of response determines the strength of the conditioning. Respondent behaviors are unconditioned responses because unconditioned stimuli elicit them. Type R conditioning is similar to Thorndike's Law on Effect. Here the strength of the conditioning is not the magnitude of the response but
AB541: Concepts & Principles II Reading Check (5 pts) Unit 7 Student: Crishtine Sundar rather the response rate; no stimulus is required, and the reinforcing effect is emitted. Type R is the basis for his work on operant conditioning as well. 2. In the original study done by Skinner to demonstrate operant conditioning, diagram what the variables and conditions are: (1 pt) The Independent variable is the food which is the delivery of the reward The dependent variable is the rate of response which would be the lever pulls by the rat According to Skinner, the light on or off takes the role of secondary reinforcement. a. Condition 1: When light is on i. A: light turns on ii. B: rat presses the lever immediately as the light turns on and only when the light is on iii. C: rat gets food only when the light is on b. Condition 2: When light is off i. A: light turns off ii. B: rat presses the lever immediately when the light is off and only when it is off iii. C: rat gets food delivered when the light is off 3. What is traditional Pavlovian conditioning a form of? (1 pt) a. It is a form of discrimination training.
