PSYB45H3 Lecture 20: lecture 20 notes
Document Summary
Psyb45 lecture 20: whatever goal you"re trying to achieve you need to do it gradually, behavioural deficiencies, immediate small punishers vs. reinforcers that are cumulatively significant. eg want to study something like cell and molecular biology, in the long run this effort will be positive. small punishers is exercising until it hurts (eg when do it right away it hurts first) behaviour in long run is cardiovascular composition changes over time: immediate small punisher vs. immediate but highly improbable major punisher if behaviour does not occur. someone who has bulimia and person makes a choice as to whether binge and purge. prof rides motorcycle and in certain states don"t need to wear a helmet so he doesn"t ride it there (which is really bad) the major punisher being the possibility of getting skin cancer.
