Document Summary
Specific & consistent delivery: establishing operations, deprivation & satiation, deprivation = motivation to acquire something = hunger is deprivation, and you acquire food. Satiation= at a point, an individual will become satiated and the person may not want reinforcement (e. g. candy) So you must have a procedure where the reinforcer has to be effective across many the entire period of operation. The ones that are paired with many different reinforcers. Ex: money, praise, token economy(individuals can trade in tokens for something else) 5 different factors that affect how reinforcement occurs. Immediacy: otherwise there is no associated being made (no activity in the brain?) Intensity of stimuli if the aversive stimulus is high in intensity, it will strengthen the behaviour that much more to get out of the situation. All of these factors play a role in how effective a reinforcement is in a given behaviour modification program. Specifies which/when responses will be followed by a reinforcer.
