Study Notes
Positive and Negative Behavioral Contrast
- Positive behavioral contrast occurs when a decrease in response rate on one reinforcement schedule leads to an increase in response rate on another unchanged schedule.
- Negative behavioral contrast happens when an increase in reinforcement on one schedule results in a decrease in response rate on another schedule.
Behavioral Contrast
- Behavioral contrast is characterized by a negative correlation between behavior rates across different components of a multiple reinforcement schedule.
- Changes in behavior rates are influenced by modifications in the reinforcement schedule for that behavior in a different context.
Contingency Shaped vs. Rule Governed Behavior
- Contingency shaped behavior is influenced by immediate and direct consequences, while rule governed behavior is shaped by consequences that are delayed.
Rules and Motivation
- A rule is viewed as an Establishing Operation (EO) that makes rule-breaking aversive while promoting positive reinforcement for compliance.
- Adherence to a rule results in favorable conditions, whereas violating the rule leads to unfavorable conditions.
Learning Rule-Governed Behavior
- Rule-governed behavior is learned through individuals' reinforcement history with the authority figure or rule-giver.
Schedule of Reinforcement and Matching Law
- The matching law operates under concurrent interval schedules, specifically Variable Interval (VI) and Fixed Interval (FI) schedules.
