Extinction in the context of inhibitory theory What is inhibited by what? What are the units of inhibition and of what is inhibited? Why should inhibition of one response be accompanied by excitation of others? How are the units of excitation related to those of inhibition? If behavior is a biological system, how does inhibition work in other cases, such as vision or hearing?

What are the implications? You can shape using reinforcers, but not using punishers: punishers reduce rather than expand the range of variations (stoperants). Therefore reinforcers are preferable to punishers if it is assumed that a wider range of variations makes a population more viable under changing contingencies. Species at risk are especially those in very specialized environments.

Reinforcers as Diagnostic

Look to the reinforcers Individual differences in behavior are sometimes products not of different contingencies but rather of the different reinforcers that are effective for different individuals (consider the different reinforcers that maintain therapeutic and scientific and athletic and artistic and political behavior). We can learn a lot by examining the contingencies, but sometimes it is even more important for us to examine the reinforcers. We do not know enough about the conditions that establish the vast variety of reinforcers that maintain human behavior.

Now we will see why it is important to think in terms of behavior hierarchies

Once we start thinking as reinforcers in terms of the responses for which they set the occasion, we are thinking about them in terms of their properties as behavior rather than in terms of their properties as parts of the environment.

Once we start thinking as reinforcers in terms of the responses for which they set the occasion, we are thinking about them in terms of their properties as behavior rather than in terms of their properties as parts of the environment. Reinforcers aren’t just kinds of stimuli.

The idea of reinforcement is simple, but now we can see why it is also easy to misunderstand it
