PSYB45H3 Chapter Notes - Chapter 12: Reinforcement, Classical Conditioning, Flight Controller
Document Summary
Decrease operant behaviour: differential reinforcement schedules or procedures are schedules that reinforce rates of responding (reinforce high or low response rates) Increase and maintain operant behaviour: positive reinforcement, shaping, fading, chaining, stimulus discrimination training, generalization, and the schedules of reinforcement described in chapter. 8: decrease operant behaviour, operant extinction (chapter 6), punishment (chapter 13), the antecedent control procedures described in part iii (chapters 17, 18, and 19), and the differential reinforcement procedures. Differential reinforcement of incompatible behaviour: rather than leave that behavior to chance or unknown factors, as in dro, one might specify an incompatible response that is to be reinforced in eliminating a particular target response. Understanding this pitfall may help us to appreciate how underachievers are frequently generated in our society: pitfalls of dro and dri are similar to pitfalls discussed for reinforcement (chapter 4) and extinction (chapter 6)
