Document Summary
Review: the associate structure of instrumental conditioning, s-r o solidifies this connection ex. Two-process theory s-o relation is classically conditioned association leads to emotional states that motivate future behavior . Pavlovian instrumental transfer test instrumental, pavlovian, Transfer: r-o relations if you devalue reinforce, behavior decreases, behavioral regulation (molar) Behavioral bliss point: changes of behavior from conditioning are due to getting back to bliss point. Economic concepts elasticity: availability of substitutes, price range. Stimulus generalization: way to measure stimulus control, steepness. What deter(cid:373)i(cid:374)es which o(cid:374)e (cid:455)ou"ll pa(cid:455) atte(cid:374)tio(cid:374) to: sensory capacity, orientation. Purposes: overshadowing, type of reinforcement, type of instrumental response. Two components to the auditory cues: quality, location. Dogs trained on the left/right discrimination responded mainly on the basis of the location of the auditory cues. Dogs trained on the go/no go discrimination responded mainly on the basis of the quality of the auditory cues. How much you know about stimuli determine how much stimuli can control behavior.
