Book excerpt: The general purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of the operant conditioner's behavior during the baseline upon subsequent operant conditioning of opinion statements emitted by freshmen undergraduate students. Specifically, the study attempted to answer the following research questions: Is it possible to systematically condition opinion statements in a verbal conditioning situation that resembles a counseling interview? Does the behavior of the operant conditioner during the baseline have any influence on subsequent conditioning of opinion statements in a verbal conditioning situation resembling a counseling interview? Is there a difference in the number of opinion statements emitted in a verbal conditioning situation resembling a counseling interview for males and females? Is there any interaction between the baseline behavior of the operant conditioner, the sex of the subject, and the stage of treatment in the conditioning of opinion statements? Subjects for the study were freshmen undergraduate students. Two experiments were conducted in which each subject was seen individually twice in an "interview" setting. Treatments were administered in an ABAB design with each stage lasting twenty-five minutes. All "interviews" were taped and listeners listened to the tapes and tabulated opinion and non-opinion statements for each stage. The operant conditioners recorded opinion statements as they occurred by pressing foot switches that activated counters in another room. The correlation between the numbers of opinion statements tallied by the operant conditioners and the listeners was .98 in both experiments. In experiment one, a trained undergraduate operant conditioner administered four treatments to forty subjects. There were five males and five females in each treatment condition. Treatments one, two, and four consisted of continuous verbal reinforcement being administered for the emission of opinion statements during stages two and four. For treatment one the baseline and return to baseline conditions consisted of silence by the operant conditioner. During treatment two, the operant conditioner administered random reinforcements on an average of two and one-half minutes during stages one and three. During the baseline and return to baseline conditions for treatment four the operant conditioner and the subjects engaged in normal conversation. Treatment three subjects received silence from the operant conditioner during the baseline and return to baseline conditions and engaged in normal conversation with the operant conditioners during stages two and four. In experiment two, a different trained undergraduate operant conditioner administered three treatments to thirty subjects, five males and five females in each treatment condition. In treatment one random reinforcement during the baseline and return to baseline was followed by variable interval reinforcement administered on an average of every two and one-half minutes. Treatment two consisted of random reinforcement followed by continuous reinforcement. During treatment three non-opinion statements were reinforced on a variable interval schedule of two and one-half minutes during the baseline and return to baseline stages, and opinion statements were reinforced on a variable interval schedule of two and one-half minutes during the conditioning stages. The major findings indicated that: Verbal conditioning occurred under continuous reinforcement conditions and when variable interval reinforcement was preceeded by reinforcement of non-opinion responses. The baseline behavior of the operant conditioner was not a stastically significant factor in subsequent conditioning of opinion statements. There was no difference in the number of opinion statements emitted by males and females. There were significant interactions between the baseline behavior of the operant conditioner, the sex of the subject, and the stage of treatment in the conditioning of opinion statements.

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.

Book excerpt: Animal learning and human learning traditions have been distinguishable within psychology since the start of the discipline and are to this day. The human learning wing was interested in the development of psychological functions in human organisms and proceeded directly to their examination. The animal learning wing was not distinguished by a corresponding interest in animal behavior per se. Rather, the animal learners studied animal behavior in order to identify principles of behavior of relevance to humans as well as other organisms. The two traditions, in other words, did not differ so much on goals as on strategies. It is not by accident that so many techniques of modem applied psychol ogy have emerged from the animal laboratory. That was one of the ultimate purposes of this work from the very beginning. The envisioned extension to humans was not just technological, however. Many animal researchers, B. F. Skinner most prominently among them, recognized that direct basic research with humans might ultimately be needed in certain areas but that it was wise first to build a strong foundation in the controlled environment of the animal laboratory. In a sense, animal learning was always in part a human research program in development.
