Humphrey’s paradox

discrimination hypothesis

in order for a subject’s behavior to change once extinction begins, the subject must be able to discriminate the change in reinforcement contingencies

discrimination hypothesis

generalization decrement hypothesis

more similar, get generalized and more responding, more different, extinguish faster

generalization decrement hypothesis

DRL

reinforcer after few responses (time interval)

DRL

DRH

how many responses occur in the time interval

DRH

DRA

reinforcing specific behaviors rather than the target behavior

DRA

DRO

reinforce any other behavior within a time frame where the problem behavior does not occur

DRO

DRI

physically cant do the target behavior and the new behavior at the same time

DRI

concurrent schedules

both schedules are available at all times

concurrent schedules

chained schedules

only one option is available at a time, once it's completed, the next one is available, and so on. Have to go through all options before getting a reinforcer

chained schedules

Tandem schedule

same as chained except there is no indication that each option has been done e.g. key light colors remain the same for each schedule

same as chained except there is no indication that each option has been done

Tandem schedule e.g. key light colors remain the same for each schedule

multiple schedule

one option presented then it switches to another option with discriminative stimulus (won't switch until time frame is met, can earn multiple reinforcers)

multiple schedule

mixed schedule

one option presented then it switches to another option without discriminative stimulus

mixed schedule

concurrent chains schedule

two options and can't see if ones better than the other. Each option has different schedules after it e.g. Button 1: FR 1 -> VI 30 -> SR+ Button 2: FR 1 -> VI 60 -> SR+

concurrent chains schedule e.g. Button 1: FR 1 -> VI 30 -> SR+ Button 2: FR 1 -> VI 60 -> SR+

lag schedule

earns reinforcer for variable sequences in a certain number of lag check textbook our lab

lag schedule

factors affecting performance on reinforcement schedules

``` quality of reinforcement rate of reinforcement delay of reinforcement magnitude of reinforcement response effort level of motivation (EO) ```
