3 Schedules of Reinforcement Fixed Ratio Variable Ratio Variable Interval Fixed Interval

4 Skinner’s “Theory” of Instrumental Conditioning Nature of reinforcer can vary: R -> S [S +R, S r, S -R, S -r ]. 3-term contingency (Discriminative operant) S D : R -> S R (light: bar press -> food) S  : R -> S R (no light: bar press ≠ food) Chaining of discriminative operants: S n-3 :R n-3  S n-2 :R n-2  S n-1 :R n-1  S n :R n  S r/DD R Two-term contingency: R -> S R Nature of discriminative stimulus can vary: –Exteroceptive –Interoceptive –proprioceptive

5 Skinner’s “Theory” (cont.) Schedule of reinforcement can vary: R n/t  S ±R –subject must emit n responses within a particular time frame t. Verbal Behavior. Behavior that is reinforced by a member of one’s verbal community. Private events. Discriminative responding to proprioceptive or interoceptive stimuli (stimuli under our skin). S d : r  S r or S d : r  S r. Contingency of reinforcement can vary: R  S ±R(r)

6 Verbal Behavior Mands (“demands”), a 2-term contingency –verbal response  S R [”baba”  bottle] Tacts- [tactus (Latin, “to point”)], a 3-term contingency: –S D : verbal response  S r –[Sight of Tom’s apple]: Mary: “May I please have an apple?”  Tom gives Mary an apple.] Verbal Behavior. Behavior that is reinforced by a member of one’s verbal community.

7 echoic behavior: *Mother says [“dog”]: “dog”  “good” textual behavior: *Printed word [dog]: “dog”  “good” transcription: *Write the word [d-o-g]: d-o-g  “good” intraverbal responses: *Printed word [c-h-i-e-n]: “dog”  “bien” *“How are you?”: “Fine thanks”  “good” *Printed letters [Na]: “sodium”  “good” *“3 x 3”: “9”  “good” Verbal Behavior (cont.) Examples of discriminative control of verbal behavior:

8 Skinner [& Freud (& Terrace)] On Consciousness Consciousness is a proper subject matter for psychology but it is not an explanation of behavior. It is what has to be explained (e.g., Tom hit Bill because Tom felt angry). –Why did Tom feel angry? –How did Tom know he was angry? Consciousness vs. Awareness: –Animals are aware of objects (but only fleetingly). –Humans are conscious of objects (because they can name them).

9 Feedback about private events is not as precise as feedback for tacting public events. Discriminative control of inner states (tacting) becomes autonomous with experience. Skinner [& Freud (& Terrace)] On Consciousness Consciousness develops because it enhances the social fabric of the verbal community. It provides us with a sense of “other minds”, another person’s hunger, pain, fear, rage, sadness, truthfulness, etc. In this sense, consciousness is adaptive. - Internal states are inferred by adult (“You seem hungry.”)

10 Behaviorist Approach Classical conditioning: –assumes that CS’s and US’s can be paired arbitrarily. –assumes that temporal contiguity of CS and US is necessary and sufficient for establishing CR. Instrumental conditioning: –assumes that responses selected for reinforcement are arbitrary. No need to postulate mental processes. All learned behavior (human and animal) can be explained by the principles of classical and instrumental learning theory (2- factor learning theory).

16 Harry Harlow (1905-1981) What does an infant monkey love?

17 Harlow’s Monkeys Monkeys spent more time with the cloth mom (15 hr) than the wire mom (2 hr), regardless of who provided milk. Went to cloth mom when stressed or scared.

26 Hunter On “Representations”...If comparative psychology is to postulate a representative fact,...it is necessary that the stimulus represented be absent at the moment of the response. If it is not absent, the reaction may be stated in sensory-motor term. (Hunter, 1913, p. 21)
