Document Summary

Review questions, which of the following factors are critical to the effectiveness of positive reinforcement, motivation (drive and incentive, delay between the response and the reinforcing stimulus, schedule of reinforcement used for initial training, schedule of reinforcement used for maintaining behaviour, all of the above, as a process, shaping involves. Increase in the amount of reward that is given following behaviour: change in the kind of reinforcer that is given following a behaviour, gradually reinforcing successive approximations of the response required, change in the contingency, from punishment to reward to omission, change in contiguity, from delay to trace conditioning, premack"s principle asserts that, primary reinforcers and conditioned reinforcers are equally effective in modifying behaviour, reducing the level of drive increases the reinforcement value of an outcome, one behaviour can be used as a reinforcer or punisher for another behaviour, self control is more likely when small or conditioned reinforcers are used in a training procedure.
