This book was released on 1964 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study ms to determine the effects of different prohabiJ-ity schedules of reinforcement over a series of successive reversals in a two-choice learning situation. Five equal probability schedules of reinforcement were employed: 100:00, 90^10, 80:20, 70*30? and 60:40. The main dependent variable was the number of responses to the more frequently reinforced bar. The experimental ^s were rats of the Sprague- Dawley strain. The results showed that different probability schedules of reinforcement in successive probability reversals had differential effects on the terminal response levels. In regard to mean response level the groups divided their responses into proportions which tended to equal or match the probability of the scheduled events. Individual ^s did not reflect the mean terminal response levels of their respective groups, i.e., they did not match their respective probability schedules of reinforcement. The general shap® of the curves were not congruent with statistical learning theory. They were discrepant in that the initial response probabilities were extremely divergent from their predicted ones, and in that they did not reflect the usual negatively accelerated growth characteristics. An error anlaysis of the response patterns suggested that a pre-experimentally induced strategy, set or mode of responding may have been operating throughout the entire reversal series. The findings of the error analysis along with the aforementioned findings were discussed in regard to the inadequacy of statistical learning theory to explain the results of this study.

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.

This book was released on 1976 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Characteristic distributions of errors across fixed ratio schedules of reinforcement were studied for two types of discrimination paradigms. Two experiments studied error patterns as a function of hypothesis behavior in two species of animals, children and pigeons. Three key zero-delay matching-to-sample and two key simultaneous discrimination were reinforced for both species of animals on fixed ratio schedules of reinforcement. Experiment 1 involved children on matching-to-sample and simultaneous discrimination, and Experiment 2 involved pigeons on matching-to-sample and simultaneous discrimination. Both species of subjects experienced experimental conditions in which shift or stay response hypotheses were selectively reinforced using a high speed digital computer. Data protocols were scored into four exhaustive error classes; winstay, lose - shift; win-shift, lose-stay; win - stay, lose-stay; and win-shift, lose-shift errors. These four error types were scored by frequency of occurrence and response latency for the ordinal positions of the fixed ratio. Two types of error patterns were defined for individual subjects. A standard error pattern was defined as having 15% more first half ratio errors than last half ratio errors. A reversed error pattern was defined as having 15% more last half ratio errors than first half ratio errors. Experimental results indicated that selective reinforcement of particular response hypotheses produced only small effects for either species of animal on matching-to-sample or simultaneous discrimination. Response latencies for matching-to-sample and simultaneous discrimination were divided into two classes. The first class included long latency responses occurring immediately after reinforcement for children and pigeons. The second class included shorter latencies in the succeeding ordinal positions of the ratio for children and pigeons. A majority of standard error patterns were produced when the total errors were separated into specific error types for low accuracy subjects of both species. The standard error pattern was lost for total errors due to a very high frequency of win-shift, lose-shift errors which were not distributed in any characteristic pattern. Higher accuracy subjects of both species tended to show a majority of reversed error patterns or no patterning when total errors were separated into error types. These subjects had very low frequencies of win-shift, lose-shift errors. The high frequency of win-shift, lose-shift errors in both species of animals across discrimination paradigms could be due to the complexity of the discrimination, a developmental age base for human subjects, or a 0-second intertrial interval.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The psychology classic—a detailed study of scientific theories of human nature and the possible ways in which human behavior can be predicted and controlled—from one of the most influential behaviorists of the twentieth century and the author of Walden Two. “This is an important book, exceptionally well written, and logically consistent with the basic premise of the unitary nature of science. Many students of society and culture would take violent issue with most of the things that Skinner has to say, but even those who disagree most will find this a stimulating book.” —Samuel M. Strong, The American Journal of Sociology “This is a remarkable book—remarkable in that it presents a strong, consistent, and all but exhaustive case for a natural science of human behavior…It ought to be…valuable for those whose preferences lie with, as well as those whose preferences stand against, a behavioristic approach to human activity.” —Harry Prosch, Ethics
