Bhimanapalli 1 Name: Hima Bhimanapalli Operant Conditioning Part 2 Professor Southwick Foundations of Learning and Behavior Analysis Questions Week 4 Chapter 3. Operant Conditioning Part 2 Directions: Answer each question in complete sentences, typed. Page numbers are provided. 1. To get the best learning, how quickly should you give the reinforcer when reinforcing a response? (35-36) You should give the reinforcer within 60 seconds or less. 2. What’s the greatest delay you could have between the reinforcer and the response, to get any learning? (35-36) 60 seconds is the greatest delay. 3. How immediate is immediate? (35-36) Immediate is no longer than one second. 4. What is a good example of rule governed behavior? (36) If I study hard, then I will get some respect. The rule here is getting respect by studying so your behavior will be to study hard. a. What behavioral concepts do and don’t apply? The behavioral concepts that do apply are immediate reinforcement and delayed reinforcement. A behavior concept that does not apply is delayed delivery of a reinforcer. 5. Contingency Shaped Behavior (38) a. Define it and give an example: Behavior under the control of a direct-acting contingency.

Bhimanapalli 2 Example: Rudolph, a rat, presses the lever and immediately gets a food pellet (the response is directly reinforced, without a rule). Another example is, while watching TV, you reach into a bowl and get a handful of M&Ms (the response is also directly reinforced without a rule). 6. Describe the use of contingency contracting. List and describe the four rules of contingency contracting: (37-38) The use of contingency contracting is to notice the undesirable behaviors of an individual and hold them accountable to take steps and change their behaviors. This involves close monitoring of an individual’s progress and using reinforcements and punishments when a desired/undesired behavior is displayed. 1. Put it in writing: This is about figuring out what the desired/undesired behavior is or when the behavior should/should not occur. 2. Have effective behavioral consequences: This is when you put in place the consequences for the undesired behavior for the individual. 3. Monitoring performance; performance not monitored once a week turns into jell-o: Progress must be monitored, and feedback must be given about the individual’s progress toward their goal. And steps toward the right behavior are rewarded. 4. Specify the contingencies clearly: This rule is to make sure the individual who the contract is for is aware of the outcomes of their desired and undesired behavior. 7. Contingency contract (38) a. Define it: A rule statement describing the desired or undesired behavior, the occasion when the behavior should or should not occur, and the added outcome for that behavior. b. Give an example (not more than one behavior): Sid’s contract with Juke to get his dissertation written and meet deadlines. Sid has to write 8 hours for his introduction then needs to meet Dr. Harper to review his writing progress every 2 weeks. If any part of the contract is not met by the deadline, then Juke will have to send $20 to the American Nazi party. The second time he does not meet a deadline, then 2 of Sid’s credits for his dissertation turn to no credit and he has to sign up and pay for those credits again. 8. Self-management a. Define it: The use of a contingency contract where the person whose behavior is being managed determines/performs one or smore components of that contract.
