Document Summary
Due next friday: excel is required. You will not get predicted behavior: if you igure out why you didn"t get predicted variable, there is a confound. In cumulaive record data during the training on the reinforcement schedule. Take 20 minutes to do it now and get the data ahead of ime. Posiive and negaive reinforcement: reinforcement increases likelihood of behavior. Posiive and negaive punishment: behavior is likely to decrease. Disconinuaion of reinforcement results in a decrease or weakening of a response. Exincion is withdrawing, while punishment is involving a new coningency: exincion is slower, but gentler. We want to weaken responses: ex. jumpy dogs are annoying. To decrease that behavior, you could punish or exinguish it. Exinguish use a coningency or just ignoring them (such as turning around) The sooner the reinforcer is given, the stronger the efect: short delay ater the behavior is typically beter . Mar. 2. 16: a simulus reinforced with the primary reinforce.
