Document Summary
When outcome doesn"t happen; vary response, and then give up. Some factors that support that we don"t really erase learning: 1. increasing the number of trials and massed extinction ; feather example, did more trials of feather holding, put feathers all over her, etc. reducing spontaneous recovery (repeat periods of rest and testing, time between acquisition and extinction) 2. reducing renewal (conduct extinction in several different contexts, cues) Non reinforcement produces an inhibitory s-r association. Overtraining extinction effect: more training produces more frustration when reward is not inhibitory s-r association comes from frustration obtained and this leads to more rapid extinction. Man who gives 20 bucks sometimes for mowing lawn, he stops and u don"t notice for a while. You learn persistence because you may not get what u want from that tantrum but they may get if from a diff tantrum. Partial reinforcement promotes persistence in 2 different ways: frustration theory: partial reinforcement teaches to continue despite frustration (tantrum.
