Document Summary
In teaching the rat to press the bar, we are not teaching new response components. Rather, we are teaching the rat how to combine familiar responses into a new activity. Four basic instrumental conditioning procedures are described in table. Negative reinforcement: remove something to increase behavior: 3. Positive punishment: add something to decrease behavior: 4. Instrumental conditioning procedures: type of differential reinforcement of other behavior (dro) It involves three elements: the instrumental response the outcome of the response (the reinforce) the relation or contingency between the response and the outcome. In the instrumental response: the outcome of instrumental conditioning procedures depends in part on the nature of the response being conditioned. They were told they had to draw rectangles to obtain points but were not told what kind of rectangles they should draw. For one group of participants, a point was dispensed if the rectangle drawn on a given trial differed from other rectangles the student previously drew.
