Levels Of Punishment Magnitude On Extinction Sniffy
The goal of this experiment was to discover the influences of various levels of punishment magnitude on extinction as indicated by Sniffy the rats’ bar pressing. This experiment conducted three different experiments to determine these results, all of which involved continuous reinforcement to teach Sniffy to learn to press the bar for food pellets. It was predicted that Sniffy is likely to learn to extinguish the behaviour that is learned faster when the level of punishment is higher. The first experiment went through an extinction trial and Sniffy was not given food following the bar press; therefore, this process involved no punishment. 105 responses occurred during the extinction phase demonstrating that extinction occurred slowly. The second

    Chapter 3 begins with a brief examination of the history of classical conditioning. The research of Pavlov, Twitmyer, Vul’fson and Snarskii is presented. The historical accounts are used as a basis for defining the classical conditioning paradigm. Several experimental situations, including fear conditioning, eyeblink conditioning, sign tracking, and taste-aversion learning, are described in detail. The specifics of excitatory and inhibitory conditioning are then presented. These specifics include definitions, conditioning and control procedures, and measurement of the conditioned responses. The chapter concludes with an examination of the prevalence of classical conditioning. Classical conditioning mechanisms involved in responses during causal judgment, food preference learning, nursing, and sexual behavior are presented.…

    Another example includes when it became apparent that Anne-Marie might begin engaging in Self-Injurious Behaviors (SIB’s) Maurice and Bridget considered using extinction as a method of decreasing the undesirable behavior of face-slapping (pg. 145). When they were discussing this tactic for their behavioral intervention they were cautious to the fact that if they did not handle Anne-Marie’s SIB quickly and correctly then Anne-Marie might being conditioning their behavior during the therapy. Thus, they were able to prevent getting stuck in the “negative reinforcement trap”.…

    Behaviorism had many shortfalls with its primary one being that it excluded the effect of genetics entirely. It only accounted for what had been learned through reward and punishment only. Questions were raised and answers were missing when examining the question through the lens of behaviorism only. One area where ethologists observed discrepancies were in fixed-action patterns and critical periods in animals. Fixed-action patterns were behaviors that received little to no reward or punishment in which the animals engaged in and critical period referred to a specific period of time in which if a…

    The Ultimate Punishment Analysis

    While I may disagree with the conclusion of this essay, still more do I disagree with the way in which it has been supported and justified. The paper bleeds a haughty arrogance, like an aristocrat looking down his nose at the ignorant peasants, suggesting that one either "gets it" or does not. It relies heavily on circular logic, much as religion—I am right, because I am right, and therefore I am right. Touting the word "justice," and wielding other such noble words, van den Haag attempts to elevate his logic as "self-evident"—though clearly it is not, or this course would not exist. Much as I detest anything that attempts to classify a species so diverse and unique as the human race into…

    Behavior and Social Learning Assessment Paper

    A personal study of operant conditioning, developed in the behavioral learning theory, has proven that different consequences have a hold on behavior. In this study a procedure is developed that consist of reinforcement and punishment. The reinforcement can either be positive or negative depending upon the behavior. Positive reinforcement purpose is to increase behavior with the actions of the behavior follows an award. Example, if a student studies hard for an exam and receives an A for the efforts the efforts will continue that the reward can continue. On the other hand, negative reinforcement purpose is to increase behavior also but to remove the stimulus after behavior. A pregnant woman gets heartburn every time she eats spicy food. The pregnant woman will stop having heartburn when she stops eating spicy food. To eliminate unwanted behaviors two concepts were established extinction and punishment. Extinction is not to reward the behavior and punishment is simply take way a positive stimulus for the behavior. This theory of operant conditioning is agreeable because it is found in everyday living in society.…

    Race Class and Gender in Learning

    There is no simple definition or answer when one asks the question, “What is the purpose of education in adult learning.” To justly answer or define this question one most first ask one definitive question that will provide three important variables. Ultimately, we must ask “Who is asking this question?” simply, what is this person’s background, are they a WASP or a minority? What is their social class? Are they male or female? The answers to these questions will provide a contextual framework and starting point in which can genuinely begin to answer our original question, “What is the purpose of education in adult learning?”…
