G-3 Establish and use conditioned reinforcers

Unconditioned punishers

• are not taught, they'er things that effect our biological systems, we're born with the responses to these punishers. 
• Example, bright lights, extreme hear/cold, loud noises, pain, etc.

 

Unconditioned reinforcers.

• Food, water, heat/cold, loud noises, pain, and sex are all unconditioned reinforcers - they are NOT taught, we have a biological need for these
• are producs of phylogeny

 

Generalized conditioned reinforcer (GCSRs)

• a conditioned reinforcer that is backed up by many other sources of reinforcement, they were previoulsy paired with many other reinforcers that don't depend on an EO for any particular reinforcement for its effectiveness.
• a GCR is based on primary reinforcers, it's effectiveness depends less on the EOs appropriate to any single primary reinforcer. It is effective because the person is usually deprived of at least one of the backup reinforcers.
• They can be collected/used to earn backup reinforcers.
• Praise and attention from your spouse. they are conditioned reinforcers that have been taught through pairing with previouly established and primary reinforcers. Thy are not specific to an EO
• Example, money, tokens, stickers

 

Conditioned reinforcer = CR = Secondary reinforcer = Learned reinforcer

• Conditioned reinforcers are products of Ontogeny

 

Conditioned punishers= CP= secondary punisher = learned punisher

• example, time-out, fines, verbal reprimands

 

Generalized conditioned punisher

• a stimulus change that was paired with various unconditioned and conditioned punishers.
• a stimulus that as a result of having been paired with many other punishers, functions as punishment under most conditions because it is free from the control of the motivating conditions for specific types of punishement.
• For example, yelling, reprimands and social disapproval are generalized conditioned punishers because they were paired with both conditioned and unconditioned punishers.
