Document Summary
Ex: when a person is deprived of food for many hrs, food becomes increasingly reinforcing: types of deprivation, natural: While engaging in long chains of activities that are reinforced by one type of reinforce, people often do not notice that they are being deprived of other reinforcers. But when they satiate on one reinforce, they may realize the other deprivation of the reinforcers: deliberate. Abstain from eating before a big meal because it makes the food more delicious: compulsory. The deprivation is out of an individual"s control due to location and resources and when the deprivation is relieved, the positive reinforcer is experienced even more pleasurable. The individual who uses strong punishment on others often receives immediate rewards for doing so: 2. Strong primary punishers are almost always effective: even after several uses, they do not lose much power to punish behavior or negatively reinforce escape or avoidance.
