Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first important distinction between operant and Pavlovian conditioning was made in 1928 by Polish scientists Konorski and Miller. Unaware of their work, Skinner proposed a similar analysis in 1935 of the manner in which operant and Pavlovian conditioning might differ and interact. Konorski and Miller responded to Skinner’s statement, and by 1937 the now-classic debate over "two types of conditioned reflexes" was in high gear. In the years before publication, the attention of many learning theorists had returned to the fundamental question of whether there are identifiably different forms of learning. The present volume, originally published in 1977, contains chapters that reassess our basic learning paradigms of the time. They deal with the definitional problems of isolating operant and Pavlovian conditioning, as well as the attempt to analyze the inevitable interactions that follow. These issues are examined in a variety of settings: some authors deal with operant-Pavlovian interactions directly by devising procedures to generate them; others examine operant-Pavlovian interactions by examining their possible contribution to established conditioning paradigms.

Book excerpt: Known for its uncompromising academic rigor and easy-to-read style and format, Klein: Learning: Principles and Applications is now in its Fifth Edition. Over the past four editions, this text has received unending praise for its accessible and thorough coverage of both classic and current studies of animal and human research. Concepts and theories are introduced within the framework of highly effective pedagogical elements, such as: chapter-opening vignettes, "Before You Go On" checkpoints, application boxes, chapter summaries, and critical thinking questions. In this new edition, the content has been updated and reorganized to reflect changes in the field, the pedagogical features have been strengthened and highlighted to continue to help students better comprehend the subject matter, and the ancillaries are all new. Key Features Chapter Opening Vignettes, and real-world examples peppered through the text, engage the reader on a personal level. Before You Go On bulleted questions emphasize mastery of key concepts throughout every chapter. End-of-chapter Critical Thinking questions help students integrate and apply chapter material. Coverage of Biological Influences on learning and memory outshines other texts. NEW! Theories of Learning and Applications are now presented in the same chapters for better continuity. NEW! A special focus on Cognition reflects new directions in the field. This text is accompanied by robust ancillaries! The Companion Student Study Site includes e-Flashcards, study quizzes, Web resources and exercises. Also included are SAGE journal articles with critical thinking questions so students can review original research that relates to the material in their textbook.

Download or read book Influence of Two Variables Upon Acquired Reinforcing Power when the Secondary Reinforcer is Used to Establish a New Response in a New Stimulus Situtation written by Rebecca G. Miles and published by . This book was released on 1964 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This experiment was designed to determine the relationship between secondary reinforcing power, as indicated by a new-learning measure, and extinction strength of an instrumental approach-to- reward response elicited by S^. To facilitate comparison between conditioned response strength and reinforcing power of S^, two variables presumed to have differential effects upon extinction of the approach response were manipulated. The test procedure also was designed to determine whether a secondary reinforcer would strengthen a new response when that response occurred in a stimulus situation which had never been associated with primary reward. An approach-to-reward response sequence was conditioned to distinctive stimulus aspects of a straight-runway training apparatus. For half of the £s in each of three response-condition groups, the approach response conditioned to was followed by primary reward on 60 per cent of the training trials; the remaining Ss received 100 per cent primary reward during training. There were seven albino rats in each of the six groups called for by the design. Each S experienced 120 trials in the training apparatus, followed by 70 test trials. At the beginning of testing, a distinctive test box was attached to the runway; a lever-pressing response in this box caused a door to open and allowed ^ to proceed through the designated section of the runway and approach the empty food cup. Partial primary reward of the response to had the customary effect upon acquisition strength of the runway responses, in that partial facilitation occurred in the later stages of training. The difference in terminal acquisition strength between partially-and continuously-rewarded Ss, however, was not significant in any of the three response-condition groups. Extinction responding was stronger and more durable after partial than after continuous reward. The response-condition variable had the predicted effect upon extinction performance of continuously-rewarded ^s: (1) a more effortful response sequence was significantly less resistant to extinction than a less effortful response to S^, and (2) performance was stronger when the approach response was conditioned and extinguished under more rather than less similar stimulus conditions. The latter effect also occurred during extinction after partial reward, but the influence of a difference in effortfulness was contrary to predictions. Strength of the secondarily reinforced lever-pressing response was significantly greater after partial than after continuous reward of the response to SN during training, and the response-condition variable had the predicted effect upon lever-pressing performance of all ^s. Despite the similar effects of the treatment variables and similar day-to- day changes in strengths of both responses, there was no significant correlation between lever-pressing speed and extinction strength of the response elicited by . There apparently is no adequate theoretical explanation for this result. The demonstrated capacity of a secondary reinforcer to strengthen a new response in a new stimulus situation was the unique contribution of this experiment. I'Jhen the new lever-pressing response in a distinctive test box was followed by instrumental behavior conditioned to stimuli that had preceded primary reward during training, lever pressing increased in strength and performance was maintained over 70 test trials.

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.
