AB541: Concepts & Principles II Reading Check (5 pts) Unit 7 Student: Crishtine Sundar Readings:  Pierce & Cheney (2017)- Chapter 8: Stimulus Control  Dinsmoor (1995a) Instructions: Answer each question based on the assigned reading in your own words. The purpose of this is to think about the purpose of the reading, rather than to regurgitate a summary. Pierce & Cheney (2017)- Chapter 8: Stimulus Control 1. Explain how multiple schedules result in stimulus control. What is the behavioral product of multiple schedules? (1 pt) Multiple schedules are frequently used when trying to display stimulus control. Multiple reinforcement schedules whereby two or more basic schedules are shown consecutively on a multiple schedule, and each individual schedule is accompanied by a different regulating stimulus. This allows for behavioral changes that occur when either an SD or an SΔ is presented. A differential response develops when the discrimination training continues. With that said, prompt acquisition and accurate discrimination occurs when the difference between SD and SΔ is increased. 2. Define & give examples of absolute vs. relative stimulus control: (1 pt) Absolute stimulus control can be defined control whereby reinforcement procedures are used instead of extinction, which leads to having the highest probability of response to a stimulus that was used in training is presented. With relative stimulus control however, the individual would be able to respond to the differences between the various stimuli presented. Dinsmoor (1995a) 1. How did Skinner distinguish between what we now call respondent and operant conditioning? What did he call them? (1 pt) He called them Type S and Type R conditioning. Type S conditioning is classical conditioning (respondent) like the one by Pavlov and the magnitude of response determines the strength of the conditioning. In Type R conditioning it is similar to Thorndikes Law on Effect. Here the strength of the conditioning is not the magnitude of the response but rather the response rate. Type R is the basis for his work on operant conditioning as well.

AB541: Concepts & Principles II Reading Check (5 pts) Unit 7 Student: Crishtine Sundar 2. In the original study done by Skinner to demonstrate operant conditioning, diagram what the variables and conditions are: (1 pt) Independent variable is the food which is the delivery of the reward The dependent variable is the rate of response which would be the pulls by the rat a. Condition 1: When light is on i. A: light turns on ii. B: rat presses lever immediately as light turns on and only when light is on iii. C: rat gets food only when light is on b. Condition 2: When light is off i. A: light turns off ii. B: rat presses lever when light is off and only when it is off iii. C: rat gets food delivered when light is off 3.
