    Study Notes

    Discriminative Stimuli

    • Types of Discriminative Stimuli:

      • SD: Evokes behavior due to reinforcement history.
      • S△: Abates behavior due to extinction history.
      • SDP: Abates behavior due to punishment history.
      • S△P: Evokes behavior due to no punishment history.

    • Example of SD:

      • In the case of Abi and the soda machine, the lit button serves as an SD indicating available reinforcement (soda).

    • Example of S△P:

      • The absence of a supervisor when reports are turned in correlates with no punishment, functioning as an S△P.

    Effects of Discriminative Stimuli

    • Behavioral Effects:
      • SD: Increases likelihood of behavior.
      • S△: Decreases likelihood of behavior due to extinction.
      • SDP: Decreases likelihood of behavior due to punishment.
      • S△P: Increases likelihood of behavior due to no punishment.

    Scenarios and Their Implications

    • Jordi’s Help-Seeking Behavior:

      • Asking Sarah for help leads to reinforcement; her presence functions as an SD.
      • Asking Mari leads to yelling and punishment; her presence functions as an SDP.
      • Asking Vania leads to no help; her presence functions as an S△.

    • Violette’s Pen Scenario:

      • The sight of the full pencil case acts as an antecedent stimulating asking for a pen (evokes behavior).
      • The consequence is receiving a pen from her friend.

    • Mookie’s Shrimp Buying:

      • The "sold out" sign acts as an antecedent stimulus that prevents (abates) him from asking for shrimp.

    Conceptual Clarifications

    • Last Names of Antecedents:

      • SD for Sr+: Last name is positive reinforcement.
      • SDP for Sp-: Last name is negative punishment.
      • S△ for Sr-: Last name is extinction of negative reinforcement.

    • Behavior Responses:

      • Evokes behavior when reinforcement is available or punishment is unavailable.
      • Abates behavior when reinforcement is unavailable or punishment is present.

    General Characteristics of Antecedents

    • Antecedents can be classified as either signaling the availability or unavailability of consequences, influencing behavior directly based on historical context.
