PSY-2700 Lecture Notes - Lecture 7: Reinforcement, Pacifier
Document Summary
Negative reinforcement example: crying baby, parent gives baby pacifier, baby stops crying. Establishing operation- on a date with a dork. A discriminative stimulus- they ask you to come back to the apartment with them. A response- i feel really sick i can"t come. The reinforcer- you get to escape your very boring date. *next time you"re in the same situation, you"re going to do this again to escape your situation. Both reinforcement positive and negative have to increase behavior. Kid screams for candy then gets candy- positive reinforcement.
