Document Summary

Habit: stimuli here is a pack of cigarettes or the smoking area, reinforcer (has to be biologically significant stimulus) is the nicotine; an unconditioned stimulus and. Instrument is the cigarette itself- operant response is smoking primary reinforcer: everything is maintained by the biologically significant stimulus. Secondary reinforcers (or conditioned reinforcers: a cs reinforcing behavior, chi(cid:373)pa(cid:374)zee"s treat toke(cid:374)s as food; become extremely important, treat tokens as if it was food, like how money is important conditioned reinforcers. Social reinforcers: reinforcers that are specific: usually a blend between primary and secondary, (cid:862)good dog(cid:863) pairi(cid:374)g affe(cid:272)tio(cid:374) (cid:449)ith the sou(cid:374)d that (cid:862)good dog(cid:863) (cid:373)akes, (cid:862)good dog(cid:863) (cid:271)e(cid:272)o(cid:373)es asso(cid:272)iated (cid:449)ith the affe(cid:272)tio(cid:374)s that (cid:272)o(cid:373)e (cid:449)ith it. Conditioned reinforcers and shaping: for experiment with rats in the box. If the rewards are stimuli that produce satisfaction by reducing rives, then behavior should not increase in the absence of satisfaction or drive reduction: paradoxical reward effect (abram amsel)
