This book was released on 2016 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The interpolated reinforcement procedure involves the application of continuous reinforcement to a previously intermittently reinforced behavior prior to extinction. Research on the interpolated reinforcement procedure suggests it can be used to quickly reduce responding during extinction; however such results have yet to be consistently established in human subjects. This study used a withdrawal design to evaluate the effects of an interpolated reinforcement procedure in young children. The target behavior was a nonclinical response, which consisted of placing foam blocks through a receptacle. The number of responses per minute was the primary dependent variable. Results indicated that the interpolated reinforcement procedure was effective at increasing the rate at which behavior decreased during extinction for one out of three participants when compared to extinction in the absence of interpolated reinforcement. Two out of three participants displayed a reverse effect, in which the rate of responding decreased during extinction after exposure to the interpolated reinforcement procedure.

Book excerpt: Learning to stop responding is a fundamental process in instrumental learning. An animal might learn to stop responding under a variety of conditions including extinction--in which a response is no longer reinforced--and punishment--in which a response remains reinforced, but also earns an aversive stimulus. Evidence suggests that extinction and punishment are behaviorally similar; both are context- and response-specific forms of inhibitory learning. In each case, this inhibitory learning is thought to control behavior by retroactively interfering with the original instrumental learning. The infralimbic cortex (IL) is critically involved in the consolidation and retrieval of extinction learning. Despite the behavioral parallels between extinction and punishment, a corresponding role for IL in punishment has not been identified. Thus, the present experiments had three goals: 1) to perform an in-depth behavioral analysis of punishment and extinction within single experiments; 2) to examine the role of IL in extinction, punishment, and omission (i.e., "negative punishment"); and 3) to test a domain-general role for IL in retroactive interference in instrumental learning. Experiment 1 examined three basic recovery effects--renewal, spontaneous recovery, and reacquisition--following either punishment or extinction of an instrumental response. The results collectively indicated that punishment and extinction are similarly sensitive to the contexts in which they are learned/tested. This was a novel comparison of punishment and extinction within a single experiment. Experiment 2 examined the effect of IL inactivation on renewal following either punishment or extinction. IL is known to impair retrieval of context-dependent extinction learning; this result was replicated alongside a similar result following punishment, suggesting an overlapping role for IL in both punishment and extinction. Experiment 3 tested the role of IL in renewal following an omission contingency, where reinforcement was delivered contingent on not responding. In contrast with extinction and punishment, IL inactivation had no effect on context-dependent retrieval of omission learning, suggesting that omission may involve the formation of distinct associative structures. Experiment 4 examined IL involvement in response-specific inhibition in punishment and extinction. Two responses (R1 and R2) were trained in separate contexts (A and B), and then either punished or extinguished in the opposite context. When the responses were then tested in their original contexts, IL inactivation unexpectedly left response-specific suppression intact. This result further suggests the presence of associative structures capable of suppressing responding independent of IL activity.

This book was released on 2020-05-11 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Latin America has increased its share of world scientific publications by nearly twofold during the last two decades (approximately from 2 to 4%). Despite this positive trend, the scholarly impact of scientific research produced in the region - measured in terms of citation rate - remains low. Two interrelated factors that contribute to this situation is that most research groups tend to work in isolation or in local sporadic collaboration, and results are often published in journals that are not indexed in major citation databases (e.g., SCOPUS, or Web of Science). Ultimately, part of Latin American high-quality research seems to remain hidden from the rest of the world. Over the last decades, an important number of Latin American scientists have developed fruitful research agendas on questions on learning and emotion, focusing on basic and/or translational research with humans and other animal models, and implementing diverse methodologies. Notwithstanding the important contributions of these research programs, Latin American research on emotion and learning has followed the overall trend of other research fields throughout the region; namely, remaining partially hidden from the large scientific community of the world. This Research Topic aimed to engage researchers from Latin America to share their empirical and conceptual work on learning and emotion. Ultimately, this effort was expected to strengthen and integrate our regional community of experts, enhance global networking, and establish new challenges and developments for future investigation.

Download or read book Schedules of Reinforcement written by B. F. Skinner and published by B. F. Skinner Foundation. This book was released on 2015-05-20 with total page 794 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The contingent relationship between actions and their consequences lies at the heart of Skinner’s experimental analysis of behavior. Particular patterns of behavior emerge depending upon the contingencies established. Ferster and Skinner examined the effects of different schedules of reinforcement on behavior. An extraordinary work, Schedules of Reinforcement represents over 70,000 hours of research primarily with pigeons, though the principles have now been experimentally verified with many species including human beings. At first glance, the book appears to be an atlas of schedules. And so it is, the most exhaustive in existence. But it is also a reminder of the power of describing and explaining behavior through an analysis of measurable and manipulative behavior-environment relations without appealing to physiological mechanisms in the brain. As en exemplar and source for the further study of behavioral phenomena, the book illustrates the scientific philosophy that Skinner and Ferster adopted: that a science is best built from the ground up, from a firm foundation of facts that can eventually be summarized as scientific laws.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Behavior of Nonhuman Primates: Modern Research Trends, Volume I focuses on studies on the dynamics of behavior of nonhuman primates. The selection first offers information on discrete-trial training techniques and stimulus variables and discrimination-learning sets. Discussions focus on the characteristics of learning-set behavior, procedural variables, basic learning-set procedures, renaissance of contiguity, border cues and additivity, and contiguity and automation. The text then ponders on hypothesis behavior and delayed-response problem, including variations of the delayed-response problem; delayed response and discrimination learning contrasted; and the hypothesis model and its application to the object-discrimination-learning-set experiment. The manuscript examines associative problems and operant conditioning. Topics include discriminative behavior, similarity and dissimilarity problems, alternation problems, discrimination reversal problems, discrimination problems, and behavior controlled by aversive stimuli. The text is a valuable reference for researchers interested in the behavior of nonhuman primates.
