G-1 Use positive and negative reinforcement procedures to strengthen behavior

Matching Law

• Behavior goes where reinforcement flows, baby! The #matchinglaw is what we're looking at because people go where their level of effort matches the level of reward. A person will match their responses to the proportion of the payoff
• Matching law is when two or more concurrent-interval schedules are available, relative rate of response matches(or equals) relative rate of reinforcement. 
• when two or more concurrent-internval schedules are available, relative rate of response matches(or equeals) relative rate of reinforcement. The ratio formula can be used as a general guide as a tool for matching law, as it shows a proportion. 

Negative reinforcement

• Behavior is negatively reinforced as there is an #aversive being removed(teacher's monotone voice/boredom) by engaging in the doodling and daydream behavior which he continues to #escapte #relief
• A process that occurs when a response is immediately followed by the removel of stimulus that increase the future frequency of the behavior in similar conditions. 
• Example: Jane has a stomachache. She takes Pepto Bismol. She no longer has a stmachache. In the future, whenever Jane has a stomach, she takes Pepto Bismol. Stomachache=aversive; engaging in behavior of taking the Pepto Bismol REMOVES the aversive.

Behavior Momentum

• Behavioral momentum is the use of a series of interspersed hign-probability requests to increase compliance with lower-probability requests, 2~4 mastered pre-tasks should be presented before presenting the new, more difficult tasks. #highplowp

Positive reinforcement(AKA Type 1 Reinforcement)

• Reinforcement occurs when the future frequency of a behavior increases. #increase in behavior.
• A process that occurs when a response is immediately followed by the presentation of a stimulus that increases the future frequency of the behavior on similar conditions. 
• Reinforcement can strengthen all of those dimensions(magnitude, duration, topography) of behavior. It can increase a response length, intensity and appearance
• Temproal Contiguity = direct contact in time - so the immediacy of the reinforcer after the response is CRUCIAL.
• Reinforcement uses the 3 term contingency(ABC) to establish the conditions that a behavior will occur again in the future in similar conditions. It is the fundamental building block of operant behavior.  
• Reinforcement makes future antecedent stimulus conditions relevant.

 

 

Premack Principle

 

 

• The Premack Principle states that making the opportunity to engage in a high probability behavior contingent on the occurrence of a low frequency behavior will function as reinforement for the low frequency behavior. It uses, "First this, then that." 
• Presenting undesired activities first, then desired activities is an example 

 

Grandma's law

• Grandma's law is an AKA for the Relativity Theory of reinforcement and the Premack Principle
• It states that making the opportunity to engage in a high probability behavior contingent on the occurrence of a low frequency behavior will function as reinforcement for the low frequency behavior. 

 

Unconditioned reinforcer

• is a primary reinforcer, something that is not learned. You are #bornwithit, these include:water, food, sleep, shelter, sex, activity, removal of pain, warmth, Warmth is not a learned reinforcer it is something that you biologically need, it is a positive reinforcer because you are adding something to the environment to cause the behavior occur again in the future.
