Q

Why must the MO for the SR or Sr with which the NS is paired be present when the NS is paired with the SR in order for the NS to become an Sr?

A

If the dog is not food deprived then food will not be a reinforcer at that particular moment in time. If the food is not a reinforcer at that moment then you would be pairing one NS with another NS

A

(The MO for the SR with which the Sr (ns) was paired must again be present for the Sr to be reinforcing)

16
Q

What is the abative effect of activity?

A

Decreases current frequency of all behavior previously reinforced with activity

17
Q

What are the similarities between MOs and SDs?

A
  • Both precede behavior

- Both immediately evoke behavior

18
Q

What are the differences between MOs and SDs?

A
  • MOs are related to the differential effectiveness of a consequence (whether or not a consequence is reinforcing or punishing)
  • SDs are related to the differential availability of a consequence (whether or not it is possible to get the reinforcer or punisher)
19
Q

State a potential conditioned reinforcer that might be affected by water deprivation and satiation

A

-Sight, sound, of water becomes more or less reinforcing

20
Q

What is a possible Sr that could be affected by being too cold?

A

-Sight of blanket becomes more reinforcing

21
Q

MO(food dep): R(pull chain) —> Sr/SD(light on)L R(press lever) —>SR(food)

What is the conditioned reinforcer abolishing effect that food satiation would have

A

Light on will be less reinforcing

22
Q

MO(food dep): R(pull chain) —> Sr/SD(light on)L R(press lever) —>SR(food)

What behavior will be affected and why?

A

Chain pulling will occur less frequently in the future when the rat is food satiated.

23
Q

MO(headache): R(look on counter) —> Sr/SD(sight of advil):R(take advil)—> SR(dec. in pain)

What is the (unconditioned) reinforcer establishing effect of the headache?

A

Reduction in pain becomes more reinforcing

24
Q

MO(headache): R(look on counter) —> Sr/SD(sight of advil):R(take advil)—> SR(dec. in pain)

What is the evocative effect of the headache?

A

Any behavior that will result in the sight of advil (look on counter)

25
Q

MO(headache): R(look on counter) —> Sr/SD(sight of advil):R(take advil)—> SR(dec. in pain)

What is the conditioned reinforcer establishing effect/ What behavior is affected and how?

A

The sight of advil becomes a more powerful conditioned reinforcer

Looking on the counter will increase in frequency in the future

26
Q

MO(headache): R(look on counter) —> Sr/SD(sight of advil):R(take advil)—> SR(dec. in pain)

What is the SD evocative effect? / What behavior is affected and how?

A

The sight of the advil becomes a more potent Sd

The person would immediately take the advil

27
Q

In the Iwata study indicate how the two IVs were manipulated in each condition.

A
  • Baseline: Deprivation present, reinforcement absent
  • Deprivation: Deprivation present, reinforcement present
  • Satiation: Satiation present (no dep), reinforcement present
28
Q

In the first study regarding food, when were baseline sessions conducted and why were they conducted at that time?

A

Baselines were conducted 30 minutes before lunch when the subjects were “naturally” food deprived

29
Q

In the food study, how was satiation established?

A

-Sessions were held 15 minutes after lunch and the participants had free access to edibles for 10 minutes

30
Q

Why were response rates during deprivation higher than response rates during satiation?

A

Deprivation, reinforcement was provided for responding in both phases

31
Q

Why were response rates during deprivation higher than response rates during baseline?

A

Reinforcement, deprivation was present during both phases

32
Q

Describe the events that happened with Donny during the satiation phase

A
  • The extensive social interaction made termination of social interaction reinforcing
  • Evoked behaviors that in the past had been reinforced with the termination of social interaction (eloping, throwing blocks)
33
Q

During the pre-session satiation procedures for Donny, what was the conditioned reinforcer establishing effect of social satiation as an EO?

A

Termination of social interaction became reinforcing!

34
Q

During the pre-session satiation procedures for Donny, what was the evocative effect of social satiation as an EO?

A

Evoked the behaviors of running away from the E and throwing things at the E, because those behaviors had, in the past, been reinforced by the termination of social interaction with others.

35
Q

During the experimental sessions in the satiation phase for Donny, what was the conditioned reinforcer abolishing effect of social satiation?

A

It made social interaction less reinforcing

36
Q

During the experimental sessions in the satiation phase for Donny, what was the abative effect of social satiation as an EO?

A

It suppressed putting the blocks in the container

37
Q

What may failed attempts to apply reinforcement procedures result from?

A
  • A failure to identify functional reinforcers (via assessment) ex: using M&Ms as a reinforcer for someone who hates chocolate
  • A failure to establish functional reinforcers (via manipulation of antecedent variables) ex: presenting food right after lunch
