Document Summary
Correlation coefficient is based on the numbers; the sign does not matter it just determines the way the slope is going. A neutral stimulus becomes associated with a reflex. The bell, neutral stimulus, because associated with the reflex of salivation. The learner operates" on the environment and receives a reward for certain behaviour. The letter r" in different forms still looks like the same thing to us. Specific space-time patterns of reinforce (s+/s-) presentation generates specific and predictable patterns of behaviour. If you can control the consistency of these rein forcers, then you can control behavior. Rewarding every time, people do not work as hard for the reward as they know they will get it and when they will get it. When reinforcement is unpredictable, will still engage in receiving the reward and working hard to get it, far more motivated.
