Last Day To Register  This is the last day to register for the November special election.  To register, go to: Rock the Vote website: = &l= = &l=7584 Print out the form and mail it so that it is postmarked today.  Registration forms also available at any post office or at tables on campus.

Why Vote?  The CSU’s budget is affected by Prop 76.  Vote if you are concerned about: Difficulty obtaining classes needed for major Rising tuition costs and other fees (parking) More crowded classes and higher student-to-faculty ratios (harder to see your advisor) Cuts in services  The other propositions are important too, but for different reasons.

PSY402 Theories of Learning Chapter 4 (Cont.) Factors Affecting Learning Contingency Management

Differential Reinforcement  Reward is contingent on performing the behavior within a specified period of time. Example: due dates for class assignments  For interval schedules, reward is also contingent on behavior but the opportunity still exists after each interval ends.

DRH Schedules  Differential reinforcement can be made contingent on a high rate of responding.  May create a vicious circle: Danger that the animal will give up if the high rate cannot be maintained. If responding decreases, no reward will be obtained. Without reward, the behavior decreases.

DRL Schedules  Reinforcement is contingent on a low rate of responding. Animal is reinforced for withholding its behavior – not for showing it. If a period goes by without a response then the reward is given.

Timing of Reward  Delay of reward weakens learning. Grice’s gradient Secondary reward cues can lessen the influence of a delay.  Delay interferes with human learning too. Children’s problem-solving time is lengthened with a delay of reward. 7 trials immediate reward, 17 delayed

Size of Reward  Crespi – the larger the reward the faster rats run down an alley.  Likelihood and intensity of a response depends on size of reward. Must be sufficient for response to occur Intensity of response varies with size of reward.

Motivation vs Conditioning  Performance differences occur because of changes in motivation not necessarily changes in learning.  Crespi showed that responding differs depending upon past experience and expectations. Depression effect Elation effect

Contrast Effects  Zeaman – the specific context in which a stimulus is experienced can exaggerate or reduce effects. Positive contrast – going from low to a higher reward. Negative contrast – going from high to a lower reward.  Positive contrast effects difficult to produce due to ceiling effect.

Explanation of Contrast Effects  Occurs because of frustration.  Prior experience establishes an expected level of reward. Frustration at not obtaining that reward interferes with instrumental activity. Drugs that reduce anxiety eliminate negative contrast effects.

Reward Size in Humans  Reward size also affects human learning. Children age 4 & 5 learn faster when given small prizes instead of buttons. Adults show higher achievement when paid more money.

Extinction of Operant Responding  When reward is discontinued, responding gradually decreases and eventually stops. Unreinforced behavior gets worse before it gets better. When reinforcement stops, behavior may temporarily increase.  Spontaneous recovery also occurs with operant extinction.

Explanations for Recovery  Hull – conditioned inhibition. Environmental cues signal absence of reward which suppresses behavior.  Amsel – nonreward elicits frustration, an aversive state. Environmental cues become associated with frustration and motivate escape. Unrewarded animals jump out of box faster than animals rewarded for jumping.

Why Does Behavior Increase?  Capaldi –If rewarded and unrewarded trials alternate, memory affects responding. Memory of nonreward (S N ) becomes associated with appetitive response. Memory of reward (S R ) becomes associated with nonresponse.  Result is avoidance behavior and decreased response after rewarded trials.

Resistance to Extinction  Three factors affect how quickly extinction occurs: Reward magnitude (in relation to length of training) Delay of reward experienced during acquisition training. Consistency of reinforcement during acquisition training.

Reward Size  Effect on extinction depends on number of learning trials: With a few trials, higher reward leads to slower extinction. With extended training, high reward leads to faster extinction.  Anticipatory goal states and frustration cause this shift.

Effects of Delay and Consistency  Only variable delay (not constant delay), when substantial (20-30 sec), makes extinction slower.  Intermittent reinforcement – if the response was not reinforced every time it occurred, extinction is slower.  Partial Reinforcement Effect

Partial Reinforcement Effect (PRE)  As the likelihood of reward during acquisition decreases, resistance to extinction increases.  With humans, the lower the slot machine payoff, the longer people play (resistance to extinction).  Very low levels of reinforcement lead to faster extinction (U-shaped curve).

Contingency Management  Assessment phase – determine the frequency of behavior and the situations in which it occurs.  Contracting phase – specifies the relationship between responding and reinforcement.  Management phase – implement the contract and evaluate results.

Discussion of Class Project  Handout on project – also posted on the webpage.  Plan due next Wednesday – ½ page briefly describing the behavior to be changed and how you will do it.  IMPORTANT – do not use punishment. Do nothing that would harm yourself or others.
